I first noticed this uplifting new mural a few months ago. You can find it near North Middle School and the School District 11 offices, on El Paso Street a little south of Uintah. The great Marian Anderson was a famous singer who performed everything from spirituals to opera, and Gwendolyn Brooks was a celebrated poet and author, not to mention the first African American to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize. I love how wonderfully she describes the way Marian Anderson's voice made her feel. It makes me want to listen, too.

A wonderful mural.
Ha. I'm old enough to remember her singing at two presidential inaugurations. Though I remember Kennedy's best....I was 11 when she did Ike's. What a relic I am. But I do remember so many people being thrilled. And am very pleased to see others remember also.
