" This is a biography of the life and career of Marian Anderson, a black singer during the civil rights movement. An enjoyable, easy read with many wonderful photographs. After reading about Marian I want to listen to some of her recordings. The title of the book is confusing though because Marian's goal in life was to sing - it is all she wanted to do. She became drawn in to the fight for civil rights when she was banned from singing at Constitution Hall. The book did not give me a vision of her as a leader for change, but certainly she was a proponent for change. "
