Picture MSSDAR State Regent Jane Hamman & Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke
Secretary Ryan Zinke and his staff at the Dept. of Interior, together with the National Marian Anderson Museum, presented an inspiring Tribute of Remembrance Feb. 1, 2018. It truly was a great honor to be present representing the Montana State Society Daughters of the American Revolution with Secretary Zinke at the 75th anniversary of the mural “An Incident of Contemporary Life” by Mitchell Jamieson depicting Marion Anderson’s concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and for me to remember being at the Lincoln Memorial for the "March on Washington" in 1963 to hear the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, when Marian Anderson led the National Anthem. Secretary Zinke signed Dept. of Interior Proclamation No. 1 National Landmark for Civil Rights for this famous mural.
