3. Reminds me FDR tine

Remember when an opera singer wasn’t allowed to sing in an auditorium because of her race and Eleanor Roosevelt set up a concert for her to sing. Racists back then felt the same way.

7. I remember hearing about that. Love Eleanor!

8. Yes, the famous opera singer was Marian Anderson...

and she performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Here's a link to the story:

The Librarian of Congress should eat only meat.
