Description:
<p>Classical vocalist Marian Anderson became a civil rights icon in 1939 when she sang before 75,000 spectators at the Lincoln Memorial — a concert organized after she was barred from singing at Constitution Hall because of her race. But curator Leslie Ureña wants people to know there’s much more to her story than a single performance.. including a pretty good pancake recipe.</p><p>Check out the portraits we discuss on our website: <a href="https://npg.si.edu/podcasts/remembering-marian-anderson" title="https://npg.si.edu/podcasts/remembering-marian-anderson" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://npg.si.edu/podcasts/remembering-marian-anderson</a></p>
