Print"To Achieve These Rights: The Struggle for Equal Rights and Self-Determination in the District of Columbia, 1791-1978" opens at the Anacostia Museum. The exhibition is the first to examine the role of the nation's capital in the national civil rights movement and includes a likeness of singer Marian Anderson, who was barred by the Daughters of the American Revolution from singing in Constitution Hall. Instead, Anderson performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
