Marian Anderson: A Song of Dignity and Grace, Part I

Product Number: DOD2194

Denied the opportunity to sing at Constitution Hall because of her race, Marian Anderson sang instead at the nearby Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday in 1939. In front of a crowd of more than 75,000, Marian’s beautiful contralto voice filled the air—and gained her the level of recognition in the United States that she had already attained in Europe.

On my facebook page and all other online avenues for my writing for the month of March the theme is women of courage. After listening to this video I posted Marian Anderson as our women of courage for today. An encouragement and inspiration to others.
