4:00-6:00 p.m., Titans of Song

This unforgettable show is set just decades ago in America, when two African-Americans challenged the racism rampant in the land from the unlikely barricades of the classical concert stage. Paul Robeson, who hailed from Princeton, graduated from Rutgers and spent his last years in West Philadelphia, and Marian Anderson, the pride of South Philadelphia, became world famous singers at a time when crossing color lines was risky business. Hear their stories, and glorious music, in this special tribute performed by Follow the Drinking Gourd, a group named for a song used to guide slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
