describes the birthday celebration: "The home of Marian Anderson will be
filled with festive activities featuring a Mardi Gras glare, with music
from Marian Anderson's repertoire and performances by Marian Anderson
Scholar-Artists, welcome greetings from special guests including City
and State officials, libations and more. We invite students and the
community to learn more about Philadelphia's "treasure" and the Marian
Anderson Heritage Village."
