      About This Book

      A black community gathers to share stories in this lyrical, multi-generational picture book from Sandra Belton and Coretta Scott King Award–winning illustrator Floyd Cooper.Miss Ida's porch is a place where adults recall their past and where the youngsters love to listen in. On one perfect night, tales are told about two great African American performers: Duke Ellington, who stayed at Mrs. Lomax'​s house when he was shut out of whites-only hotels, and Marian Anderson, whose two historic concerts in Washington, DC, testified to the power of the civil rights movement.
