Resigning with a Conscience
When Mrs. Roosevelt heard that the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a group in which
she was a member, refused the world-renowned opera singer Marian Anderson a concert at Constitution
Hall in Washington, D.C. because she was an African American, she sent a letter of resignation to
the DAR. This act brought racial discrimination to the national spotlight and assured the public that
segregation would not be a part of the Roosevelt administration.
Directions:
You are the president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution and have just
received Mrs. Roosevelt’s resignation letter. Mrs. Roosevelt is the most popular and controversial
woman alive today. What will you say to her? What can be said to a person who resigns over a
conflict with her conscience? Using the space below, write her a letter in response to her resignation.
After you complete your letter, read the actual letter written by Mrs. Henry M. Robert, Jr., the president
general of the DAR. Compare the letters; pointing out how you think her letter could have been more effective and repentant.
