Henry Black Ingram, RIP
Henry Black Ingram, retired professor of music at Greensboro College, father of Music for a Great Space and a reviewer for the News & Record, died on Saturday.
It has been a while since Henry reviewed musical performances for us -- he retired from that role about the time he retired at Greensboro College in 1995 -- but that doesn't lessen the importance he played here. His understanding of music and his fine writing brought credibility to his reviews and to the paper.
I had a personal connection with Henry, too. His granddaughter and my daughter grew up together, and his family and mine attend the same church.
Through his musical leadership, he leaves his mark on Greensboro. He was a good man.
Leave comments and memories about Henry here.
