  In the early part of the twentieth century,racism was widespread in the United States.Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment.Marian Anderson(18971993)was an African American woman who gained fame as a con-cert singer in this climate of racism.She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood.When she applied for admission to a local music school In 1917,she was turned down because she was black.Unable to attend music school,she began her career as a singer for church gatherings.In 1929,she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there.Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe.

Then she returned the U.S.in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.

  Racism again affected Anderson in 1939.When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington,D.C,the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color.She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial over75,000 people.In 1955,Anderson became the first black soloist to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City.The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “head only once in a hundred years”.She was a U.S.delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977.Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.

Jason
What I like best is seeing Arsenal win and playing football. If I am feeling sad I will play a football game on my Play Station 2. The best day I have ever had was when I finished first in the 800-metre race at my secondary school. It was a school record, although I didn’t know that at the time. My family makes me happy, too.
Antonio
My little sister makes me sad because she always tells tales on me to my mum. If I am having a bad day, food cheers me up. I like chili con carne and sweet chili crisps. It makes me happy because I want to be big and have lots of energy.
Usman
I haven’t done anything very exciting in my life but one of my best achievements is that I got a good report from my school this year, because last year I got a bad one. People on TV make me laugh, particularly Eddie Murphy. If I am having a bad day I watch Basil Brush. I am good at making other people happy. I just talk and my friends start laughing — they think I am silly.
Ashleigh
If I’m having a bad day, knowing that someone is there for me can make me happy. I wouldn’t say I’m the best at making other people happy, but I know that just being a good friend to other people is important. The things I like doing are singing, dancing, hanging out with my friends and just being lively and funny.
Kinzey
The most exciting thing I have ever done in my life was when I went abseiling in Wales. But that was a one-off. The things I do all the time are playing football, watching movies and going places with my friends. I know it sounds bad, but what I find funny is when people hurt themselves. If I am having a bad day and I see someone having a worse day than me, that makes me feel better.
