Her agent sol Hurok requested the Hall for easter sunday april 9, 1939, and was informed that it had been booked for months by the Washington symphony. Or. Hurok did not request an alternate Date. Quot 1 in 1939, Washington d.c., was a highly segregated City and Constitution Hall was the Only private auditorium that did not practice segregation.
