The 45-minute multimedia lecture-recital includes piano accompaniment, projections of archival photos and an audio recording of Anderson, who later received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and served as a goodwill ambassador for the State Department. The live music program includes spirituals and classical selections, and Baker also takes questions from the audience.
