Help me, please someone I have other things to do like cores and my mom need to take me to the doctor due at 5 help and I still have homework in five other class Resigning with a Conscience

When Mrs. Roosevelt heard that the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a group in which

she was a member, refused the world-renowned opera singer Marian Anderson a concert at Constitution

Hall in Washington, D. C. because she was an African American, she sent a letter of resignation to

the DAR. This act brought racial discrimination to the national spotlight and assured the public that

segregation would not be a part of the Roosevelt administration.

Directions:

You are the president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution and have just

received Mrs. Roosevelt’s resignation letter. Mrs. Roosevelt is the most popular and controversial

woman alive today. What will you say to her? What can be said to a person who resigns over a

conflict with her conscience? Using the space below, write her a letter in response to her resignation.

After you complete your letter, read the actual letter written by Mrs. Henry M. Robert, Jr., the president

general of the DAR. Compare the letters; pointing out how you think her letter could have been more effective and repentant.
