Comment on Black History Month: Unsung Heroes of the South, Pt. 4 by Rita Lorraine Hubbard

Dear Nancy,
There are many Bessie Smith biographers out there, but if you’re looking for someone to speak with in Chattanooga, you can try the Bessie Smith Hall at 423-266-8658. Ms. Smith still has living relatives here in Chattanooga, and one of them recently published a book called “A Blues Song of Her Own.” The Bessie Smith Hall can probably put you in contact with her.

Best wishes,

Rita Lorraine
