Marian Anderson first became widely recognized as a black artist trying to overcome racial oppression when the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to let her sing in front of a mixed audience at Constitution Hall in 1939. Later that year, with help from President Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Anderson performed a concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for 75,000 people and millions of radio listeners on Easter Sunday.
