Matilda Sissieretta Joyner Jones Edwards, also known as "Black Patti," was an African American soprano and one of the first African-American women to gain recognition as a concert artist. She performed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was known for her powerful voice and wide vocal range. Edwards broke racial barriers in the Classical Music world and paved the way for future black Opera singers.
