At the March on Washington in 1963 Mahalia sang in front of 250,000 people "I've Been 'Buked, and I've Been Scorned", in which Martin Luther King, Jr. made his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. She also sang "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" at the funeral of her friend Martin Luther King, Jr. She was one of his favorite gospel singers. Indeed, her good friend Martin Luther King said "a voice like hers comes along once in a millennium". In addition to sharing her singing talent with the world, she mentored the extraordinarily gifted Aretha Franklin; she was a close friend of Aretha's father, C. L. Franklin, and a frequent guest in the Franklin home.

Tears brought to my eyes. I can't think of how my sweet old resting in heaven Grand Pa-Pa had to live like this. As a young person, I will learn all I can about my family's homestate of Mississippi and why they had to flee :-(

Regardless to what we may feel. The bottom line is we have a African American President. We also need learn how to live with one another without all this confusion. This is still the best country in the world! I woulf not trade it for the world.
