Did You Know?

Famous black contralto, Marian Anderson, was not permitted to sing at Constitution Hall in 1939? The incident was one of the first milestones in the struggle for Civil Rights in America. Washington, D.C., was a segregated city at that time and Constitution Hall limited performances to white artists. As the country began to tear down the barriers of race-discrimination, the Daughters of the American Revolution followed suit and changed its policy for the hall. Anderson sang at Constitution Hall six times after 1939, and launched her farewell tour from DAR's stage.
