Product Description

 
Marian Anderson is best known for her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939, which drew an integrated crowd of over 75,000 people in pre-Civil Rights America. While this momentous event showcased the uniqueness of her character, and the struggles of the times in which she lived, it is only part of her story. Like the opera arias Marian would come to sing, Ryan's text is as moving as a libretto, and Selznick's pictures are as exquisitely detailed and elaborately designed as a stage set. Wheat emerges most profoundly from their shared vision is a role model of courage.

The Bottom Line: For pure enjoyment, studying Black History Month, music appreciation, or an historical lesson about pre-Civil Rights America--this is worth reading and sharing with a child you love.
Review: Beginning in 1926, Americans began to officially recognize the important contributions of African Americans in our culture--first during what was called "Negro History Week" and later, as what we celebrate now each February, "Black History Month."...

Black History Month 5: When Marian Sang

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: When Marian Sang...the World Listened.
Review: Last year I read an interesting, if historically questionable, book by Pam Munoz and Brian Selznick, "Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride." It was a fun look at two intriguing women in American history, and I recommend checking it out if you've never...

First Line
  No one was surprised that Marian loved to sing. After all, she listened to Father singing in the morning as he dressed. Mother often hummed while she worked in the kitchen. Sometimes Marian and her little sisters, Ethel May and Alyse, sang songs all afternoon.
