Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
- Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
-
U.S. patriotic society for direct descendants of soldiers or others who aided the cause of independence.
It was organized in 1890 and chartered by Congress in 1895. Its historical division stresses the study of U.S. history and preservation of Americana. Its educational division provides scholarships and loans, helps support schools for underprivileged youth and for Americanization training, sponsors prizes, and publishes manuals. Its patriotic division publishes the
Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine and
The National Defense News. It was long known for its conservatism; its refusal in 1939 to let the black singer
Marian Anderson perform at Washington's Constitution Hall led to her famous concert at the Lincoln Memorial.
