1. Marian Anderson -- a close look at our shameful history

We watched it also. I knew very little about her except that she had sung at the Lincoln Memorial. I thought the program was great.

I was so ashamed of our country to hear in detail how this woman was treated because of her race. I have, of course, read books and articles and seen many shows and movies about how black artists and musicians could not find hotels or eat in restaurants, etc., but this program so well conveyed her enormous talent and fame and it was so shameful to see how she was repeatedly treated here.

Agreed this program should be watched be all and we are not classical music buffs.
