Minnie T. Wright was a club woman and pianist from Boston.[1] She was one of the organizers seeking a building for African American woman's club activities in Boston[2] and served as president of the Massachusetts Union of Women's Clubs from 1928 to 1932.[3] She belonged to the Women's Muncipal League[4] and spoke about club women seeking membership in a federation of women's clubs needing to belong to a church.[5] She was elected as president of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs Inc[6] on September 6, 1934.[7]
Her compositions "A Summer Day" and "Love-Song" were recommended as "drawing room" pieces.[8] Louis Armstrong recorded her song "Love Song" on the 1933 album Laughin' Louie.[9] She was stated in The Diapason to have "won considerable reputation as a composer of music of the lighter and popular order".[10]
