In 1939, singer Marian Anderson was told by the Daughters of the American Revolution that she couldn’t sing at Constitution Hall because she was Black.
In response, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt immediately set up a concert at the National Mall. What happened was historic.
Millions tuned in to hear Anderson sing on the radio and she became a household name.
Mrs. Roosevelt announced that she would resign from the DAR.
A few months later, the First Lady invited Anderson to the White House to sing before King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England making history.
It wasn’t until 1952, when Anderson was invited to sing at Constitution Hall.
She accepted the invitation.
Eleanor Roosevelt attended.

@MauckCarl Coach, do you still play in your dreams? I did for about ten years after retiring! The most common dream was to come out of the stands, suit up, and snap a game winner!

Comments made by Trump in the past few weeks echo statements from Adolf Hitler nearly verbatim.
This has to be intentional. It should be on every front page:
Hitler: I will get rid of the “communist” “vermin”
Trump: I will get rid of the “communist” “vermin”
—
Hitler: I will take care of the “enemy within”
Trump: I will take care of the “threat from within”
—
Hitler: Jews and migrants are poisoning Aryan blood
Trump: Migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”
—
Hitler: “One People, One Realm, One Leader”
Trump: “One People, One Family, One Glorious Nation”
@fasc1nate In 1995, U.S. and Canadian wildlife officials released 14 wolves in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.
🚨🚨The 73-year-old local county commissioner jailed, and removed from the commission by DeSantis, has had his conviction vacated and overturned on appeal.
He was targeted with this bogus prosecution because he took on a major DeSantis donor, the family that owns The Villages.
Readers of his saga contributed tens of thousands to a Gofundme, which allowed him to appeal. He’s now free. https://t.co/4tP3X6KI4y
