On Easter Sunday 1939, the brilliant vocalist Marian Anderson sang before a throng of seventy-five thousand at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington-an electrifying moment and an under appreciated milestone in civil rights history. Though she was at the peak of a dazzling career, Anderson had been barred from performing at the Daughters of the American Revolution's Constitution Hall because she was black. When Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from the DAR over the incident and took up Anderson's cause, however, it became a national issue. Like a female Jackie Robinson-but several years before his breakthrough-Anderson rose to a pressure-filled and politically charged occasion with dignity and courage, and struck a vital blow for civil rights. In the 1963 March on Washington, Martin Luther King would follow, literally, in Anderson's footsteps. This tightly focused, richly textured narrative by acclaimed historian Raymond Arsenault captures the struggle for racial equality in 1930s America, the quiet heroism of Marian Anderson, and a moment that inspired blacks and whites alike. 600 10 $a Anderson, Marian, $d 1897-1993. 650 0 $a Concerts $z Washington (D.C.) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. 650 0 $a Lincoln Memorial (Washington, D.C.) 941 $a 14 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718085159.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518014717.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508015042.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926092104.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717015706.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104064920.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418071911.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20101106041126.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20101005011037.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20100301073843.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090806113132.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20100201083435.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20100405104447.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20100405115720.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64FC39926C0411DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
