SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH.; (6 7/8 x 4 7/8 inches)

New York: Studio Delar, nd [1930s]. An important figure in the Civil Rights movement; when the D.A.R. denied her the opportunity to sing before an integrated audience at Constitution Hall in 1939, with the aid of Eleanor Roosevelt, she performed in an open air concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial instead, before a huge crowd and millions of listeners on the radio. Very good. Item #66250
