"On Saturday night, it hit me like a rushing train.

At an early leg of my True Colors concert tour this summer, I was in Washington DC preparing to go onstage at DAR Constitution Hall and on the very same stage that contralto Marian Anderson was turned away in 1939 because of the color of her skin. It took the heroic intervention of Eleanor Roosevelt to invite her instead to sing to thousands of Americans from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter morning."
