Mary Wilson was born in 1944 in Greenville, Mississippi. She later moved to the Detroit Brewster Projects where at the age of 13 she met Florence Ballard and Diane Ross, the girls with whom she would become the greatest girl group of all time–The Supremes.



The story of the Supremes is one of friendship, dreams, tragedy, success, and glamour, as well as groundbreaking firsts in a time of social change. All of this is on display in the Reflections: The Mary Wilson Supreme Legacy Collection–a retrospective currently being exhibited at Seattle’s Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum (EMP|SFM).
