Why can't our choir sing the national anthem in this key? It's always so low, because everyone's too freaked out of the high notes.

Thanks so much for this historical post. When I was in junior high school Diva Marian Anderson came to our school to perform circa '62 and her performance was breathtaking!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. BTW, I think some of the people you mentioned like Marc Lamont Hill can't compare to the contributions of someone like Marion Anderson. I also think some of them have taken up talking about race as a means of making a living.
