The Amazing Marian Anderson


Listen Later

Black History Month continues with singer and Civil Rights activist Marian Anderson. Called "The Voice of the Century," she not only broke boundaries, and did it with flair and style, but she also helped inspire many of the people who would take up the cause of Civil Rights in America with her brilliant example. 
 
Join Rebecca and Becca as we discuss one of the most iconic moments in the history of the Lincoln Memorial and the woman whose talent and tenacity made it happen.
