Description
Time Magazine – December 30, 1946 – Vol. 48 No. 27 – Marian Anderson
This original issue of Time Magazine, dated December 30, 1946, features Marian Anderson, the renowned African American contralto, on the cover. Revered not only for her extraordinary voice but also for her role in breaking racial barriers in the world of classical music, Anderson’s cover appearance marked a significant cultural milestone. She had become a symbol of dignity and excellence, performing at major venues worldwide and famously singing at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 after being denied access to Constitution Hall.
This issue profiles Anderson’s rise to international acclaim, her profound influence on American culture, and her contributions to civil rights through artistry. Alongside her story, the magazine includes end-of-year reporting, postwar global updates, U.S. domestic developments, and rich period advertising and commentary reflecting the tone of late 1946.
