Answer:

In 1939, more than 75,000 people heard the words of the amazing contralto Marian Anderson on a free open-air concert at the Lincoln Memorial.  

Anderson was scheduled to sing at Washington’s Constitution Hall but was denied the right to use the hall because of her race.  

In protest she sang in the Lincoln Memorial, this served as a political statement to create awareness of the racial discrimination in society at the time. Also taking in cosiderattion Lincolns role in the fight for equality for all people, the performance and the lyrics of the song, this was an extremely emotional moment for many.

Discuss the contributions of Romantic-Era writers/poets such as Thoreau and Emerson.
user100 [1]

Answer:

Emerson was one of the founders of Transcendentalism in America. An offshoot of the Romantic movement, Transcendentalism and its writers focused on creating a uniquely American voice in literature. Part of a movement called the New England Renaissance or the American Renaissance, Transcendentalism established the idea that American literature should have its own concerns and voice and should not simply try to emulate European literature. Instead, Emerson's writings, such as "Self-Reliance," stressed the importance of developing one's own talents and emphasized the importance of cultivating what is great in oneself. By extension, his writings emphasized the importance of developing an American literature that was not concerned with European models. Over time, as Emerson believed in the freedom of each person, he became an advocate of abolition, and he inspired others to fight against slavery.
