Excerpt from A Night to Remember
Florence Wilmington

It was a night to remember. Marian Anderson was one my favorite singers. Her rendition of the song “Were You There” ran through my head as we walked toward the Metropolitan Opera House. Of course, I listened to the radio when she sang at the Lincoln Memorial in ’39, and hearing her sing “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” brought a tear to my eye. I couldn’t imagine what emotions Marian’s voice would stir in me during a live performance. It was January 7, 1955, and my husband and I were going to see the first African American sing at the Metropolitan Opera.
