Bruce Lord Bandurski traces his ancestry to Saer de Quincy and to John "Lackland" King of England, whose resolute mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine (Queen of England after she was Queen of France). The twenty-five generations between Bruce Bandurski's birth in 1940 and King John's birth in 1166 included a dozen passengers arriving in North America on the ship known as Mayflower in the year 1620. Bruce numbers Mayflower passenger John Alden's resolute wife Priscilla Mullin among the determined distaff persons of his ancestral lines. Bruce is particularly proud of his resolute great-grandmother [nee Annie Stuart Waldo] who had been National Secretary of the Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR], the wife of General Herbert M. Lord who was Director of the federal budget of the United States of America under three presidents. [General Lord was a listee in one of Marquis' Who's Who early publications.] Providing a laudable example of citizenship for this nation, Mrs. Lord decided to resign her membership in the DAR when it refused to allow Marian Anderson to utilize its Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., for a widely anticipated concert.*
*Marian Anderson became an important figure in the struggle for black artists to overcome racial prejudice in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution refused permission for Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Constitution Hall. The incident placed Anderson into the spotlight of the international community on a level unusual for a classical musician. Anderson performed a critically acclaimed open-air concert on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. She sang before a crowd of more than 75,000 people and a radio audience in the millions.
