Revisiting “One Life: Marian Anderson” Art Matters Lecture with Leslie Ureña (via Zoom)

With each of her performances, the Philadelphia-born contralto Marian Anderson (1897–1993) tested limits and broke boundaries. She is best remembered for her gripping recital on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday in April 1939, when some 75,000 people gathered to witness her sing. On account of her race, Anderson had been prohibited from performing at the Daughters of the American Revolution’s Constitution Hall and other venues in Washington, D.C. The concert on the National Mall, therefore, became a watershed moment in the struggle against segregationist policies and discrimination.

Land Trust Treks

Hike Oso Flaco Lake with the Land Trust. This easy 2-mile hike will take us across the boardwalk that spans the lake, looking for birds as we go. We will continue through a back-dune area that has willows, Pacific wax-myrtle, and lovely blue and yellow bush lupines, as well as many other interesting plants. After a while, we will approach the ocean, where we can look for shore birds and also see some interesting dune vegetation.
