In this compelling tribute, former New York Times chief classical music critic Anthony Tommasini explores the life and legacy of the iconic singer Marian Anderson, who broke racial barriers in the world of music. The audiobook recounts her historic 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial, a pivotal moment in the fight for racial justice, and reflects on her artistic journey, from her acclaimed early performances in Europe to her struggles for recognition in the United States. Tommasini highlights Anderson's powerful voice and artistry, alongside the racism she faced, while celebrating her achievements as a pioneering figure in the arts.
