Légende
Masses listen while Marion Anderson Negro sings. Washington, D.C., April 9. An estimated 75,000 people of all races massed before the Lincoln Memorial today while negro contralto Marian Anderson staged on of the most dramatic concerts seen in Washington. The concert was the culmination of the bitterest black-vs.-white contests since the World War. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt resigned the DAR because of their refusal to allow her to sing in their Constitution Hall here, 4-9-39.
