Singer Marian Anderson was banned from performing at the Daughters of American Revolution Hall in Washington, DC in 1939. Eleanor Roosevelt and Harold Ickes arranged for Anderson to perform on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Nice. Harold Ickes is not often remembered as the true "engine" behind this concert and his voice is rarely heard nowdays. Thanks for posting his speech,
