Proving Her Talents
Marian Anderson was born in
February 27, 1897, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She began singing at an early
age. Her father did everything so his daughter can have singing lessons. After
her father died she began teaching herself and also many helped her and her
family economically. She was known for trying hard and perfected the songs she
sang.
She had won many recognized
prizes, including the chance to sing at the Lewisohn in New York. After she
continued her tour through Europe in 1928. She got famous in many countries for
the talent she had of singing. She was considered the first African American to
receive an invitation to perform at the White house, but actually she performed at the Lincoln Memorial. She was really brave
to do this I’m proud of her, even though people didn’t want her to sing because
of her race color, she sang and stood up bravely. She encourages many African Americans
to make them value themselves by doing things like and enjoy even though people
disagree with them. She also encourages other by being the first African American
singer to perform the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. In many occasions
she was rejected to sing in some places because of her color but still she made
proud her people by showing her talents to others.

I didn't know about Marian Anderson before and I'm happy to learn about her life and accomplishments. As a singer myself, I appreciate her brevity and tone. How amazing that she was basically self-taught!
ReplyDeleteWow! She is really brave for standing up and sing and not caring if people disagree. It's really impressive that she taught herself. She has a really nice voice.

Nice job on your blogging! :)
i learned something new about, Marian Anderson that she was a really brave..
ReplyDeleteShe was one of the great singer. I love to listening her song.
ReplyDeleteI have learned something again, too. The minute I glanced over two African-American singers in a photo of today’s Star Tribune article, I knew who was the celebrated contralto. All right, so there is a singing ensemble, VocalEssence, that promotes its Witness concert series with a focus on African-American music. Apparently, the Maria Anderson concert was a ‘jazzy delight’!
ReplyDeleteI think she is one of the best singer and I love her song now.
ReplyDeleteCourage, bravery, and determination are some adjectives to describe her. She was a prodigy.
