I Have a Dream/March on Washington
In Mission 1, the team had to make sure that Mahalia Jackson interrupted Martin Luther King, Jr to remind him to talk about ‘The Dream’. If you want to see just the result of that interruption, you can watch the shortened version, but if you want to see what he was talking about before AND after she interrupted, then watch the full speech.
Mahalia Jackson
Mahalia Jackson is Gospel’s Greatest Lady. But not only was she one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, she was also a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. She even said, “I’ll come to any benefit if I see SCLC [Southern Christian Leadership Conference] get all the money.”
