雖然瑪麗安‧安德森在她的歌唱生涯中,面臨到嚴峻的種族歧視問題,但是她還是以堅毅的個性克服這些問題。西元1939年,美國革命女兒會 (Daughters of the American Revolution) 禁止安德森在華盛頓特區的一處禮堂演唱。然而,組織中有人認為這項決定是錯誤的。其中,第一夫人愛蓮娜.羅斯福 (Eleanor Roosevelt) 為了表示抗議,還退出這個組織,並且協助安排安德森在林肯紀念館 (Lincoln Memorial) 的台階上演唱,有超過75千人在現場聆聽。


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.
