B. Constance O'Dell

Bertha Boykin Todd speaks about how Williston Glee Club and Concert Choir director B. Constance O'Dell helped to elevate those programs.

Ms. O'Dell (1918 - 2015) taught Music and was the choral instructor at Williston Senior High School. From 1949 to 1968, O'Dell directed the Williston Glee Club and Concert Choir. The glee club "achieved fame resulting from concert travel across the Atlantic seaboard," and O'Dell "became a celebrated figure." After desegregation, she was a school counselor at Hoggard High School.
