Overview

On April 9, 1939, Black contralto Marian Anderson stood on a stage before the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Facing a crowd of 75,000 people on the National Mall, she began to sing "America, My Country 'Tis of Thee." From the very first note, her sweet and powerful voice took flight--soaring over the National Mall and floating out of radios across the nation. But why was Anderson singing outside on that chilly day, and what was the enduring legacy of her historic performance? Find out in an easy-to-read graphic novel that reveals why this musical event is among the greatest moments in history.
