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 dream, and changed the
course of history. This picture book uses vibrant illustrations and a poetic
narrative to illustrate how King and Jackson developed their unique and powerful
gifts, and how the gospel (both spoken and sung) was integral to the civil rights
movement. Book, 40 pages.
