Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about
women who spoke up and rose up against the odds--including Marian
Anderson! When renowned classical singer Marian Anderson wasn't
allowed to sing at a theater in Washington, DC, because she was
Black, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt invited her to sing at the
Lincoln Memorial, at a concert attended by thousands of people.
Marian went on to sing around the world on behalf of the UN and the
US State Department, and as a part of the Civil Rights Movement,
she also performed at the March on Washington. She went on to win
many awards, including the first ever Presidential Medal of Freedom
and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award--and she inspired countless
people along the way. In this chapter book biography by
award-winning author Katheryn Russell-Brown, readers learn about
the amazing life of Marian Anderson--and how she persisted.
Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white
illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can
follow in Marian Anderson's footsteps and make a difference! A
perfect choice for kids who love learning and teachers who want to
bring inspiring women into their curriculum. And don't miss out on
the rest of the books in the She Persisted series, featuring so
many more women who persisted, including Coretta Scott King,
Harriet Tubman, Ruby Bridges, and more!
