Jazz Singer Nina Simone's Birthplace

Eunice Kathleen Waymon was born in this house on February 21, 1933. She grew up to become Nina Simone, who introduced the world to a unique musical infusion of pop, gospel, classical, jazz, folk and ballads, that she called "Black Classical Music." Her voice and music were instrumental in the American Civil Rights Movement.

The Nina Simone Birthplace is being restored and is currently not open to the public. For more information visit online at http://www.eunicewaymonbirthplace.blogs.com
