Title A name given to the resource Marian Anderson concert at the Lincoln Memorial Description An account of the resource African American contralto <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/76">Marian Anderson</a> sang on the steps of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/33">Lincoln Memorial</a> on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939. A peaceful crowd of seventy-five thousand people stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36">Washington Monument</a> to attend the free concert; thousands more tuned in to <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/373">listen</a> on the radio. The Daughters of the American Revolution had barred the world-renowned singer from appearing in Washington's prestigious Constitution Hall because she was African American. First Lady <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/330">Eleanor Roosevelt</a> and Secretary of the Interior <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/408">Harold Ickes</a> rallied support for her public appearance on the Mall, focusing public attention on racial discrimination and inequality.
