...who was barred from singing in Washington D.C.'s Constitution Hall because she was black. Officials of the District of Columbia also barred her from performing in the auditorium of a white public high school. She eventually performed at the Lincoln Memorial during the administration of a Democratic President and Congress.



Well done Anna, hercule and Caliban. You all got one apiece so I'll leave it to you to sort out N. I have to dash away now...

great question

I definitely don't want N

[Anna]

Phew! That was more fun than wrestling with a Tax Inspector! So, not me for the N as I only got one element right. So, up to Caliban and hercule to decide who is the Victor here (although I think you are both level), hercule got the original Lithuanian Triptych and Marian a split second before Caliban came with the answer but he included Marian Consort and Marian cross posting, so, counting up on me fingers, you are Even Stevens. Maths never was my strong point.

So, we are agreed, Caliban gets the N

I have a teasing little N up my sleeve which could be finessed and unleashed, unless Anna is poised to deliver??

EDIT - Ah. More cross-posting! Ok, let me finalise N then although I was nowhere till hercule's grey cells solved the thing

Oh I say Caliban, I cannot wait to see what your little teaser up your Raglan could unleash upon us (with a bit of due finesse of course, we don't want to frighten the norses) and, hopefully No Nitials?

A straightforward little teaser for a sunny spring evening:

What N connects a fractured jaw, a radiophonic first, and the figure 555?

EDIT: I said 'musical fractured jaw' originally but I have amended that, as each of the 3 elements is in fact musical.

Nah! Nitials? Never again! Promise!

Reposting to ensure my edit has been seen!

Well, Muti fell off the podium and fractured his jaw don't know what he was rehearsing, 555 were American fags (in the English sense), but this has nothing to do with N, and, anyone else keen on the Radiophonic Workshops and playing at being Dr. Who (or his companion, oh I say!) this is fun (takes a few seconds to load) and then Whoosh! You can play at landing the Tardis and being Scottish hamsters in a loop.

That is the first element cracked The rest of your answer is irrelevant!

Now, Now, well Duw, Duw, don't try and sweet talk me, you charmer in Silk! There are two elements still involved and anton has not yet returned from shopping with Mrs. anton. The puzzle is yet young as is the night, as is the bottle of Rioja!

There goes element 3

[Anna]

There goes element 3

And they were classified under N? Well done hercule (I really feel I am missing something on this latest in the nuances and balletic movements between subjects)

[mercia]

I wonder where your fractured-jaw bloke came from, Anna
