By Sarah Storkin, Observer Staff Writer SMC Graduate Mickey Guyton sang the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. She is black, female and a country music singer, making her pretty much unique. Country Music artists who are black and female are a rarity, and Guyton has said that she has been the subject of discrimination.
