In 1939, African-American singer Marian Anderson was told she could not perform at Constitution Hall, a performing venue run by the Daughters of the American Revolution. It soon became clear the DAR refused the singer because she was black. As a result, Eleanor Roosevelt, an early champion of civil rights, arranged for Anderson to sing at the base of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on Easter Sunday, April 9th, 1939. Roosevelt also resigned her membership in the DAR.
