With his wife first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia by
his side, President Barack Obama was officially sworn in yesterday for a
second term in a private ceremony at the White House.
Gloria Davy was 20 in 1951 when she won the coveted Marian Anderson
Award. Perhaps that was a propitious omen that one day she would follow
in the esteemed footsteps of operatic great Anderson, which she did,
with a similar voice of marvelous distinction. Davy, 81, died on Nov. 28
in Geneva, Switzerland.
