About Ruth Brewer Eisenberg
- Ruth Brewer Eisenberg (1902–1996) was "Ivory" of "Ebony and Ivory," the inter-racial piano duo.
- Eisenberg and Margaret Patrick, "Ebony," each had a stroke in 1982, which partially disabled them.
- Prior to the stroke, each had studied and played classical piano.
- Eisenberg was disabled on the left, Patrick on the right.
- They were introduced at a post-stroke group in Englewood, New Jersey by the program's director, who knew of their shared love for music and thought perhaps together, they could play as one.
- A reporter dubbed them "Ebony and Ivory" after the song by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, which was then a hit.
