Imagine!

That must have been one powerful moment.

When the DAR invited my late mother to join, she declined, citing their refusal to let Marion Anderson sing at Constitution Hall. I am so proud of her, still.

Progress has been made

So much ignorance. Still have a great deal of ignorance and hate and haters in this country. Occupant at the WH is a racist, hater.

Spin

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from DOR bcuz they didnt want a black woman on Lincoln memorial! And today we r told by judge today white nationalists arenot racists?! Re: fbk& utube hate speech case

What a story. In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution refused permission for Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Constitution Hall.With the aid of Eleanor Roosevelt, Anderson performed a critically acclaimed open-air concert on Easter Sunday, April 9.

Yes, 80 freakin’ years ago. Sheesh. Race baiting will not work any longer. You are losing. Tick-tock ⏰

And nowadays Candace Owens is being denied at college campuses and kicked out of restaurants. The 'progressive' party is pretty regressive.

As an active NSDAR member, I want to try to clear this up a bit. Yes, she was turned away. But this was the law in the city. It was extremely unfortunate and we didn’t want to do it. But the organization has made amends with Ms. Anderson’s family. Please stop spreading this.

'Constitution' Hall. Unbelievable. What a sad past we have. And by past, I mean anything that happened over 1 second ago.

‘She sang with her eyes closed’: The concert at the Lincoln Memorial that changed AmericaEighty years ago Tuesday, 75,000 people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial to hear contralto singer Marian Anderson. Multiple venues had refused to let her perform because she was black. The kind of faith I see in LeRoy I don't like how they added the funk to the National Anthem. Now everyone sings it that way. It sounds gross. Nobody cares.

45 years ago, a heinous F5 tornado tore through this town and changed it foreverThere was an eerie stillness in the air around midafternoon. At that point, residents of Xenia, Ohio, were still unaware of the disaster that would soon strike. The zenith of turbulence I was a little kid in Massachusetts, but remember my mother being freaked out because she couldn't contact my Dad's relatives who lived around Dayton. Scary time. I grew up in a suburb of Dayton - Kettering. We got giant hail that day. We were spared. My brother’s mustang had been stolen about a month earlier. They found it totally destroyed in Xenia. We drove through Xenia about s month after it happened. Looked like a war zone.
