No, but she was the first to sing at the Metropolitan Opera. Camilla Williams was an African American Opera singer some 10 years earlier than Marian Anderson. Ms Williams just passed away this past week. There were others, including Todd Duncan and Ann Brown, both of whom were in the original cast of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
