Women of Color....see inside, and the Compass feature
As the nation and world celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Marian Anderson (below, center), Penn reveals a new recording and an unknown song by Sibelius in the collection she gave to the Library (see Compass feature).
Below, at left, the late alumna Sadie Alexander as she appears on the Penn home page (see this issue of Almanac); and below at right, a portrait of Dr. Helen O. Dickens, the professor emerita whose life is celebrated annually at Women of Color ( see this issue of Almanac).
