(1952) Biography of William Grant Still by Joni Etta Boyd (SHS) On May 11, 1895, William Grant Still was born in Woodville, Mississippi . Still, a musical legend of the 1900's, created a beat of his own in the music world. This musician, composer, and instrumentalist was blessed with more fame than any other African-American of his time. Although blacks were not prominent in the musical world in the 1900's, he overcame the discrimination and transcended many other obstacles in his own way to become an important composer of the twentieth century. Carrie Still knew her son had a musical gift after he began to make toy violins at a young age. She then decided to pay for him to take violin lessons (Sewell and Dwight 286). Still began writing music at age sixteen (Verongos). He was very intelligent in high school, graduating as valedictorian in 1911 (Sewell and Dwight 287). Still's goals were high. Thinking only of music, Still set out to achieve his goal of becoming an accomplished African-American musician. His mother supported her son's decisions. However, she knew African-Americans did not often succeed in the music industry. Her good sense and determination strongly influenced Still's life (Sewell and Dwight 286). Taking his mother's advice, William attended Wilberforce University in Ohio to major in science (Sewell and Dwight 287).
