Manuscripts found in a long abandoned summer house opened a new chapter in the story of Florence Price. Kate Molleson explores Price’s early life: her childhood in Little Rock, her family, education and the political climate that shaped her formative years. Joined by pianist and scholar Samantha Ege, she traces how Price learned her craft and how her ambitions developed in a society increasingly hostile to black success.
