Opera singer MARIAN ANDERSON will appear on $5 bill.
Marian Anderson Sings at Lincoln Memorial. 1939.
Marian Anderson, contralto, was denied the right to perform at Constitution Hall by the DAR because of her color. Instead, and at the urging of Eleanor Roosevelt, Harold Ickes permitted her to perform at the Lincoln Memorial on April 9, 1939. This Lincoln Memorial performance some say help launched the civil rights movement in the U.S.
Marian Anderson – Ave Maria. Born February 27, 1897, in Philadelphia, Marian Anderson displayed vocal talent as a child, but her family could not afford to pay for formal training. Members of her church congregation raised funds for her to attend a music school for a year, and in 1955 she became the first African American singer to perform as a member of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
