Florence Price is getting played more frequently. Also amazing how a number of her manuscripts were rediscovered in the renovation of another house she owned.

a very good friend of mine is a Florence Price researcher and we went all around her neighborhood, studied in the Newberry and I agree, she's very under-celebrated!!
