THEY WERE EACH BORN WITH THE GIFT OF GOSPEL.
As partners in the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahalia Jackson fought segregation in America with the sheer power of their voices. Martin moved crowds with his message of hope and peace, while Mahalia stirred their souls with her smooth and booming vocals. United at the momentous March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, they stood together, shared a death, and changed the course of history.
