The brief biography Marian Anderson: Journey to Freedom was an excellent story. Like the story of Booker T. Washington, she was a person who had many setbacks in life, but didn’t let those setbacks stop her from doing what God sent her to do. She was very successful in Europe because she was determined to learn classical music and it said in the story that you have to learn languages other than English to help improve your classical skills. She also got many awards, such as the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963 and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1991. She was born in South Philadelphia on February 17, 1897 and died in Portland, Oregon in 1993. She was poor growing up, but she was surrounded by a loving family. She says that because of this, she didn’t mind being poor. A book like this I would read to children of about 4th grade and older.

DeleteI did find that the story of Booker T. Washington had the same morals or lessons that the Marian Anderson biography had. They both tell about their challenges and struggles that made them the person they were to become.
This book is thoughtful in documenting the extreme pressures of segregation and prejudice but emphasize the positive efforts and successes Marian Anderson. The text is clear and easy to read presents enough personal information to humanize her achievements. I noticed the captioned photographs of the subjects, formal and informal, action and still, presented as snapshots, along with other historical pictures, add much to the texts. These features allow the students to engage into the book and use some text to text and text to world elements. This book is perfect for reports or as introductions to their subjects and will engage young readers. I would use this book in a History class also because these are important people that made a difference in society and students should be able to recognize the significance. Overall, the Journey to Freedom book has something of a coffee-table-book, feeling to it. This may seem almost intimidating to its intended audience at first, but the clear, large text and striking visual elements made this book a valuable resource for students investigating African-American history, and in particular some of its most interesting figures.
