The Trouble I've Seen: Marian Anderson and the Easter Concert of 1939

Imagine a crowd gathered under the stars in a free open-air concert. Imagine young and old, black and white, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a nation where segregation and Jim Crow were still the law. Marian Anderson’s concert on Easter Sunday 1939, brought together the loose cultural strands that wove a beautiful tapestry, and brought comfort to the world in dangerous times.
