Description

What stories do the murals and speeches on the inside walls of the Lincoln Memorial tell us about President Lincoln’s legacy of freedom and unity?  How was this legacy brought to light by African American opera singer, Marian Andersen, on Easter Sunday in 1939?  Celebrate Women's History Month with Ranger Tim as he shares the story of how one music concert broke down racial and equality barriers and gave birth to a new freedom.
