Aida Overton-Walker
Known as the “Queen of the Cakewalk”, Ms. Walker was a prominent
African American vaudevillian in the early 1900’s.
Performing as an actress, singer, dancer and choreographer,
her success was unparalleled and she broke the color barrier
at that time, being one of the only African American performers
working in white venues in New York.
Today we celebrate the life and achievements of
Aida Overton-Walker.
