This week’s Cass County Pioneer is a musician. World famous mezzo soprano opera singer Barbara Louise Smith Conrad was born in Atlanta, Texas on August 11, 1937. Raised in a family of music lovers near Pittsburg in the Center Point community, Conrad first learned to sing while in church with her siblings when they were young. As a young adult, Conrad went to Prairie View College until she transferred to the University of Texas in Austin in 1956. There, she expanded her musical training and pursued her passion for the art. Conrad was among the first class of African American students at the recently desegregated university. Though Conrad and her peers faced racial tensions amidst the desegregation movement, she gained stage experience and expanded her craft.
