Hattie Carthan (1900â1984) was a community activist and environmentalist who was instrumental in improving the quality of life of the Brooklyn, New York community of Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Another acting sibling of Hattie and Sam was actor Etta McDaniel. In addition to performing, Hattie was also a songwriter, a skill she honed while working with her brotherâs minstrel show. After the death of her brother Otis in 1916, the troupe began to lose money, and it wasnât until 1920 that Hattie got her next big break. During 1920â25, she appeared with Professor George Morrisonâs Melody Hounds, a touring black ensemble, and in the mid-1920s she embarked on a radio career, singing with the Melody Hounds on station KOA in Denver.
