One Life: Marian Anderson will be on display at the National Portrait Gallery from June 28, 2019–May 17, 2020.
In 1939, Anderson gave a concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. She delivered "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" and "America" with heart-breaking pathos.
Anderson was a great contralto and a native of Philadelphia. During the 40s I attended several Marian Anderson recitals at the War Memorial building in Nashville, Tennessee.
