Believe it or not, the answer is NO! I believe Charley Pride is the only Black (African American) member of the Grand Ole Opry.
I don't want to take anything away from Charley, because he is one of the greats in Country Music, and I love him.
However, in the late 1920's, there was a Black (African American) man by the name of Deford Bailey. He was a gifted harmonica player, and was one of the Opry's most popular performers.
