I am a registrar for DAR and I know of no one who has ever been turned away and is eligible for membership. I don't know where we would be without that library in Washington. It has helped so many prove their lineage--whether for DAR membership or their own personal satisfaction. DAR sponsors five schools for underprivledged children, promotes patriotism, gives scholarships to anyone who qualifies, is leading the way to promote the heritage of those whose black ancestors served in the American Revolution. You are free to think whatever you like, but those days of the Marian Anderson incident are gone. Judy Arthur
