 
"Titans" is an unforgettable show 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.
Both 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. Robeson - also a famous actor and
human rights activist - endured the added oppression of the McCarthy era
witch hunt.
But in very different ways, they both inspired America to become
more tolerant. Hear their stories - and glorious music - in this unique
tribute performed by Follow the Drinking Gourd, a group named for a song
used to guide slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
