In this harmonious introduction to the life of one of our country's greatest
singers, feelings accompany the facts as a piano accompanies a voice.
Marian Anderson is best known for her historic concert on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial in 1939, which drew an integrated crowd of 75,000 people in
pre-Civil Rights America. While this momentous event showcased the
uniqueness of Marian's voice, the strength of her character, and the
struggles of the times in which she lived, it is only part of her story.
