Synopsis: Marian Anderson changed the world with her voice.
Excerpt: Anderson became more and more famous with each passing year. In 1961, she sang the national anthem at President John F. Kennedy's inauguration. Two years later, President Kennedy awarded Anderson the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The award goes to very few people--those who have made a major contribution to the well-being, peace, or culture of the United States. No one deserved it more.
