Eleanor Roosevelt broke the law by defying segregation laws during her tenure as First Lady. Notably, in 1939, she resigned from the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) after they refused to allow African American singer Marian Anderson to perform at Constitution Hall. Roosevelt arranged for Anderson to perform at the Lincoln Memorial instead, openly challenging racial discrimination and promoting civil rights. This act, while not a formal legal violation, directly opposed the discriminatory practices of the time.
