Marian Anderson was a celebrated American singer and a pivotal civil rights figure. Renowned for her rich voice, she broke racial barriers in classical music, famously singing at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 after being denied a venue by the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was the first African American to perform at the Metropolitan Opera.
