Opera legend Marian Anderson singing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday 1939. When the Daughters of the Revolution barred her from singing at Constitution Hall, she sang on the steps of the memorial instead. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from DAR in protest over their “whites only” policy for the hall and for their treatment of Ms. Anderson.
