Facing a crowd of 75,000 people on the National Mall, she began to sing "America, My Country 'Tis of Thee."

But why was Anderson singing outside on that chilly day, and what was the enduring legacy of her historic performance? Find out in an easy-to-read graphic novel that reveals why this musical event is among the greatest moments in history.
