According to Wikipedia:

"Marian Anderson made history...as the first African-American to sing on the Met stage. Robert McFerrin followed with his Met debut in the same month, January 1955. Thus, Robert McFerrin became the first black man to sing at the Metropolitan Opera.

"Rarely stated in the great publicity surrounding Marian Anderson's accomplishment is the fact that McFerrin was already engaged to make his debut when Anderson received her contract."
