Marian Anderson
Marian Anderson (February 27, 1897 - April 8,1993) was an African-American contralto, best remembered for her performance on Easter Sunday, 1939 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. The concert, which featured a stirring rendition of "God Bless America", was arranged by Eleanor Roosevelt after the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) banned Marian from singing in Constitution Hall because of her race.
