The Marian Anderson Award was originally established in 1943 by African American singer Marian Anderson after she was awarded the $10,000 Bok Prize that year by the city of Philadelphia. Anderson used the award money to establish a singing competition to help support young singers; recipients of which include Camilla Williams (1943, 1944), Nathaniel Dickerson (1944), Louise Parker (1944), Rawn Spearman (1949), Georgia Laster (1951), Betty Allen (1952), Gloria Davy (1952), Judith Raskin (1952, 1953), Shirlee Emmons (1953), Miriam Holman (1954), Shirley Verrett (1957), Billie Lynn Daniel (1963), and Joyce Mathis (1967). Eventually the prize fund ran out of money and it was disbanded. Florence Quivar was the last recipient of this earlier award in 1976. In 1990 the award was re-established and has dispensed $25,000 annually. In 1998 the prize was restructured with the "Marian Anderson Award" going to an established artist, not necessarily a singer, who exhibits leadership in a humanitarian area. A separate prize, the "Marian Anderson Prize for Emerging Classical Artists" is given to promising young classical singers.〔(About the Award ), MarianAndersonaward.org〕 Awardees by year:〔(Marian Anderson Award: Past Honorees ), MarianAndersonaward.org〕 * 1990 – Sylvia McNair * 1991 – Denyce Graves * 1992 – Philip Zawisza * 1993 – Nancy Maultsby * 1994 – Patricia Racette * 1995 – Michelle DeYoung * 1996 – Nathan Gunn * 1997 – Marguerite Krull * 1998 – Harry Belafonte * 1999 – Gregory Peck * 2000 – Elizabeth Taylor * 2001 – Quincy Jones * 2002 – Danny Glover * 2003 – Oprah Winfrey * 2005 – Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis * 2006 – Sidney Poitier * 2007 – Richard Gere * 2008 – Maya Angelou and Norman Lear〔 〕 * 2009 – Bill Cosby * 2011 – Mia Farrow ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marian Anderson Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
