Award-winning nonfiction author Russell Freedman masterfully tells the story of contralto Marian Anderson, whose act of defiant courage helped to mark the end of segregation in the arts. When denied the right to sing inside Lincoln Memorial because she was African-American, Anderson came to stand for all black artists when, with the help of such prominent figures as Eleanor Roosevelt, she gave a landmark 1939 performance on the steps outside the Lincoln Memorial.
