Today, the nation's capital gets a lesson in tolerance. In the nation's most impressive Easter Demonstration. Seventy-five thousand are now massed before Lincoln Memorial to hear Marian Anderson, colored contralto, make her capital debut at the great emancipator's shrine.The refusal of Constitution Hall for her concert has stirred a great controversy with this gathering as the climax.
