Native Voice One - The Native American Radio Network

Olivia Ward Bush-Banks (1869-1944) was an American poet and playwright best known for celebrating both her African-American and Montauk heritages in her works. She also founded the Bush-Banks School of Expression in Chicago to foster emerging African-American talents. Some of her plays supported an interracial culture controversial for her day and were not produced during her lifetime.
