The Singer and the Scientist
The Singer and the Scientist | Lisa Rose
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
It's 1937, and Marian Anderson is one of the most famous singers in America. But after she gives a performance for an all-white audience, she learns that the nearby hotel is closed to African Americans. She doesn't know where she'll stay for the night.
Until the famous scientist Albert Einstein invites her to stay at his house. Marian, who endures constant discrimination as a Black performer, learns that Albert faced prejudice as a Jew in Germany. She discovers their shared passion for music--and their shared hopes for a more just world.

What a wonderful story. A look at a true life event of Albert Einstein and a singer name Marion. This event is little known but is a great way to learn about segregation for various people. The illustrations perfectly fit the book and it belongs on the shelf right next to all the Little People Big World and Who Is .. etc. This book is sure to be read for years to come both in libraries in class and at home.
