Final answer:

The Daughters of Liberty did not own a location where Marian Anderson was denied to perform. The mix-up is with the Daughters of the American Revolution, which denied her the use of Constitution Hall in 1939 due to racial discrimination, leading to a landmark concert at the Lincoln Memorial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to have a mix-up, as it combines the historical context of the Daughters of Liberty, an 18th-century group that promoted the boycott of British goods before the American Revolution, with the 20th-century incident involving famed African American singer Marian Anderson. The Daughters of Liberty did not own any location where Marian Anderson was denied to perform. In reality, it was the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) that denied Anderson the use of Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. for her concert in 1939 due to her race. This incident triggered First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to resign from the DAR and helped to arrange an alternative performance at the Lincoln Memorial.
