Marian Anderson (1897–1993) was a trailblazing contralto whose voice shattered racial barriers, most famously when her 1939 Easter Sunday concert at the Lincoln Memorial drew 75,000 people and became a defining moment in Civil Rights history. The first Black artist to perform at the Metropolitan Opera (1955), she used her global platform to advocate for equality. 📚📕✊🏽 📙 Visit our Black History Book Store - https://rebrand.ly/FBBookShop #BlackHistory #BlackExcellist | Black ExcelList
