segregation. This shocked both DAR and the country as she was taking a stand against segregation. Shortly after this fiasco, the Secretary of the Interior, Harold L. Ickes, personally invited Anderson to come and sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Four years later, Marian would be asked to come back to Constitution Hall being seen as equal for one of the first times.
