This is an old video that has some defects in it, so I did my best to cover them up to make it look more presentable. Mahalia Jackson sang this song right before Martin Luther King made his famous "I have a dream speech " in Washington D.C. 1963

  • I grew up in a Jewish home and will never forget the day I came home and found my father crying listening to Mahalia sing this song. I will never forget it. Nor will I ever forget our conversation that ensued regarding race, inequality and how we must always fight together against hatred and racism. A blessing, both my dad and Mahalia. love to all.

  • "You know my soul looked back and wondered, how did I make it over."...This video is remarkable and the expressions on the crowds face....priceless...The words touched some and shamed others in that crowd!!!
