Zelma Watson George (December 8, 1903 – July 3, 1994) was a well-known African-American philanthropist who was famous for being an alternate in the United Nations General Assembly and, as a headliner in Gian-Carlo Menotti's opera ''The Medium'', the first African American to play a role that was typically played by a white actress. ==Early life== Zelma Watson was born to Samuel E.J. and Lena (Thomas) Watson in Hearne, Texas on December 8, 1903.〔(Zelma Watson George (1997). The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History. )〕 Her mother was a coordinator of religious activities at Tennessee State College in Nashville, Tennessee. Her father was a Baptist minister, which caused them to move frequently. In 1917 the family moved to Topeka, Kansas from Dallas, Texas because the white citizens of Dallas did not approve of Samuel E.J. Watson assisting African-American prisoners. Zelma Watson was born the eldest of six children.
