Items related to The Voice That Challenged A Nation:Marian Anderson...
Marian Anderson was a famed vocalist who had been applauded by European Royalty, welcomed at the White House, and adored by appreciative listeners in concert halls across the United States. But becuase of her race, she was denied the right to sing at Constitution Hall, Washington's largest and finest auditorium. She came to stand for all black artists-and for all Americans of color-when, with the help of prominent fiures such as Eleanor Roosevelt, she gave a landmark performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial that broke racial barriers and hastened the end of segregation in the arts. Drawing on Marian Anderson's own writings and other first-person accounts, Newberry medalist Russell Freedman shows readers a singer pursuing her art in the context of the social and political climate of the day. Profusely illustrated with contemporary photographs, hers is an inspiring account of the life of a talented, determined artist who left her mark on musical and social history.
