- Description of Pictures: Inside Media: Lincoln Memorial Memories
Guests: Roger Wilkins and Raymond Arsenault
When acclaimed vocalist Marian Anderson sang for 75,000 people at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday in 1939, her performance and quiet courage amid swirling racial and political tensions marked a breakthrough in early civil rights history.
In the summer of 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. addressed record crowds at the same site, inspiring both black and white citizens to further the cause of racial equality.
On the 70th anniversary of Anderson’s performance, Roger Wilkins, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and prominent civil rights activist who served as assistant attorney general during the Johnson administration and Raymond Arsenault, an award-winning historian and author, share stories about the historic gatherings held on the National Mall.
Arsenault will sign copies of his new book, "The Sound of Freedom: Marian Anderson’s Historic Concert at the Lincoln Memorial," after the program.
"Inside Media" is produced by the Newseum and is open to Newseum visitors. Seating is on a space-available basis.
The event was moderated by Frank Bond, from the Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
