Overview
On Easter Sunday 1939, Marian Anderson performed at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial for a crowd of over 75,000 people. The person largely responsible for putting her there was a white man, Oscar Chapman. When Chapman learned that Marian Anderson was not allowed to sing at Constitution Hall because of the color of her skin, Chapman helped produce a landmark concert thatāfor at least one eveningābridged the color divide to bring a city and much of the nation together.
Award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson tells the inspirational story of Oscar Chapmanās lifelong commitment to ending bigotry. Illustrator Leonard Jenkinsās remarkable illustrations recreate a bygone era and pay tribute to remarkable real-life people and a magical moment in modern history. An authorās note provides additional historical context.
