Alma Stone Williams (1921 – 5 November 2013)[1] was an educator, music scholar, and pioneer in racial integration. In 1944, Williams became the first black student[2][3] at Black Mountain College, ten years before the United States Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka declaring state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional.
