Obama & Marian Anderson
During Obama's speech on Thursday evening, MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial was front and center. But, there is Marian Anderson's 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial that added even more meaning (to me). Hear her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDMdNXut8Yc Read about her and Eleanor Roosevelt's role: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Anderson
How Eleanor and Marian must be cheering Obama from heaven.
