In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Marian Anderson’s historic Lincoln Memorial concert, the DAR launched an archival project to create a subject guide on documents related to Marian Anderson found within the NSDAR Archives. The goal is to create a lasting educational resource that can contribute to the ongoing preservation and study of the events and attitudes surrounding this time in the United States history.

Additionally, on the day of the 80th anniversary, DAR welcomed 50 first and second graders from a Washington, D.C. elementary school to DAR Constitution Hall for a program on Marian Anderson. The students celebrated the change Marian Anderson inspired throughout America by singing My Country Tis of Thee on the stage of Constitution Hall.
