Marian Anderson s majestic voice mesmerized the nationbut her courage in confronting racism was equally inspirational. When I sing, she stated, I want them to see my soul. And that is colorless. Anderson became the first African-American to record spirituals for a major recording company; the first to perform as a soloist at the Philharmonic Society s Academy of Music; and the first to appear on the stage of the exalted Metropolitan Opera House.
