Mahalia

A joyous celebration of life and music of the world’s greatest gospel singer: a humble, deeply religious woman whose expressive, full throated voice carried her from a three room shanty in New Orleans to appear before presidents and royalty. The joy and inspiration of her songs provide a counterpoint to messages delivered by her friend, Martin Luther King Jr. Standing at his side, Mahalia Jackson became the musical voice of the civil rights movement.
