虽然玛丽安.安德森在她的歌唱生涯中,面临到严峻的种族歧视问题,但是她还是以坚毅的个性克服这些问题。西元1939年,美国革命女儿会 (Daughters of the American Revolution) 禁止安德森在华盛顿特区的一处礼堂演唱。然而,组织中有人认为这项决定是错误的。其中,第一夫人爱莲娜.罗斯福 (Eleanor Roosevelt) 为了表示抗议,还退出这个组织,并且协助安排安德森在林肯纪念馆 (Lincoln Memorial) 的台阶上演唱,有超过75千人在现场聆听。


Although Marian Anderson faced racial prejudice throughout her career, she overcame it through perseverance. In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution barred her from singing in its auditorium in Washington, D.C. In protest, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from the organization and helped arrange for Anderson to sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. More than 75,000 people showed up.
