DAR Headquarters will be closed from March 16 to March 20. We will reopen on March 21. 

On January 27, 2005, at the invitation of the U.S. Postal Service and the family of Marian Anderson, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution co-hosted the unveiling of a commemorative United States postage stamp honoring the operatic and concert star at the Society’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.

For many in the audience, the ceremony represented a touching time of healing and at last hopefully a happy ending to a painful chapter in history.

The Marian Anderson commemorative stamp ceremony was filled with touching speeches, performances by renowned mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves and the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and a reception for the guests. View video clips and a photo slideshow of the ceremony along with the DAR welcome remarks and a sidebar article about the ceremony from the DAR book American Treasure.
