The music is a direct response to those videos and, more generally, to the failure of the United States to fully implement the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees equal protection under the law to all citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Marian Anderson String Quartet is a nationally recognized ensemble of four African-American musicians who have performed at presidential inaugural ceremonies and in concert and music festivals across the country.
