Ruth Miriam Wolkowsky Greenfield, who died this week in Miami, was a rebel with a cause.

As a student she dated a Jamaican classmate. On returning from studies in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, she opened the Fine Arts Conservatory, possibly the first fully integrated music school in the southern United States.

She taught at Miami-Dade College for 32 years and organised all manner of lively arts events.
