Contralto Marian Anderson, who in 1955 became the first black woman to debut with the Metropolitan Opera, received a human rights award Friday from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Met colleague Roberta Peters presented the award to Anderson, who celebrated her 85th birthday at the luncheon ceremony. The honorary fellowship award cited Anderson for “her lifelong struggle for human rights, her deep sense of justice, her caring for people and her avowed friendship for Israel.”
