A.k.a. Barbara Smith Conrad (née Barbara Smith)
Barbara Smith Conrad (born 1940) is an American operatic mezzo-soprano of international acclaim. Born Barbara Smith, she was raised in Center Point near Pittsburg, Texas. In 1957, Barbara Conrad became the focus of a racial controversy revolving around her role in a student opera at The University of Texas at Austin. Pressure from the Texas Legislature forced her removal from the cast, and her story received national media coverage (see University years.) Barbara continued her education at The University of Texas at Austin and received her Bachelor of Music degree in 1959.
