Nina Simone's First Piano Recital - Civil Rights Activism!

At her first recital, 12-year-old Nina Simone refused to start singing after her parents were moved from the front row to make room for whites

Nina Simone was not only an exceptional musical legend but also a civil rights activist who whole-heartedly engaged in eradicating the racial differences in the United States.
