"I had a feeling that a great wave of goodwill poured out from these people, almost engulfing me. And when I stood up to sing our National Anthem I felt for a moment as if I were choking. For a desperate second I thought that the words, well as I know them, would not come. I sang, I don't know how. There must have been the help of professionalism I had accumulated over the years. Without it I could not have gone through the program." ~Marian Anderson

"She found that the people she spoke to shared with her a deep faith and a belief in a better world, and that they all yearned for a sense of belonging. She often talked to them about what she had learned from her mother, about the sin of pride in feeling too complete, and the peace of mind that faith brings."~ Allen Keiler Author of A Singers Journey
