Marian Anderson

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

The first part of the program is missing. Docudrama picks up with part 2 just before Anderson's famous performance at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday, 1939.

This is followed by Justice Stephen S. Jackson of the Juvenile Welfare Council introduces Harlem school children Margaret Valentino 11-years-old P.S. 102 class 6A-1 and Maurice Ingraham 14-year-old from J.H. S. 43. The students respond to the previous week's program on prize fighter Joe Louis and "Why I like this program."

Justice Jackson wraps up.
