Opal Cooper
African American actor and singer (1889–1974)
Opal D. Cooper (1889 – 1974) was an African American actor and singer. Though little remembered today, in the years immediately after World War I Cooper "was without question the most aclaimed black dramatic actor in the recent history of the American stage".[1]
Personal and professional papers relating to him are held in the Opal Cooper collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library.[2]
