NINA | Silver Arc Fringed Dangle Earrings | Solidarity Collection
Nina Simone sang to share her truth with a great passion in her deep and distinctive voice. These silver arc fringed dangle earrings were forged with the same passion, in an attempt to capture the essence of the marvelous chanteuse, and Civil Rights activist.
This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live in it. – Nina Simone
Nina Simone (nee. Eunice Waymon), was a singer, musician, and Civil Rights activist. Born in Tryon, North Carolina in 1933 Nina had a musical talent that was evident quite early in her life. By the tender age of 3, she was learning to play the piano and singing in a church choir.
In the mid 60’s she became the voice of the Civil Rights Movement with songs like “Young, Gifted and Black“, and “Mississippi Goddam” which was banned in several southern states.
She died in France at the age of 70.
I tell you what freedom is to me: no fear. – Nina Simone
I was always a politician from the day the civil rights people chose me as their protest singer. – Nina Simone
