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.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Herbert decided today was the day, He was going to buy a pet today. He jumped in his jetta and left his flat. He drove to the nearest pet store on the corner of Berkeley ave. They were a full menagerie, with all sorts of different animals. Slipping his hated mask on he entered the loud store. The cawing of parrots and yips of puppies were music to his ears Scaly creatures with claws and bright colors were at the top of list or animals he might want to buy. But as he passed the guppies section his mind changed. The guppies flashed there colors and swam swiftly through the aquarium. He picked out a bright orange and white guppy that was a medium size. He named her Georgia. The woman working there put her in a clear plastic bag. On his way home he kept Georgia in his lap but didn't realize that the water from her bag was spilling everywhere. He rushed home, and when he got there he ran inside to place poor Georgia in water before she could die. He got fish water all over his hands. This is disgusting Herbert thought to himself, so he pumped soap into his hands and washed them thoroughly. Then he looked at Georgia and was glad that he picked her instead of a snake or lizard.

Hope this helps!!
