  • The very same day that Martin Luther King Jr. pronounced his speech "I Have a Dream", Mahalia inspired thousands of demonstrators with this song called "How I Got Over". This VIDEO, with on-screen LYRICS, shows her perform there, at the March For Jobs and Freedom in Washington, 1963. Remember this was a key day for MLK's Civil Rights Movement on behalf of African American people and, it would be fair to say that both Mahalia and King, led by God's love, made history together.
    Witnesses and biographers documented that, as King was getting to the end of his speech, Mahalia shouted to him saying: "Tell them about the dream, Martin!". It was then that the Reverend stopped looking at his paper and out of his heart described his dream of freedom and equality in America and the world, which he had previously preached in other sermons who would be compiled in the book "Strength To Love". MLK and Mahalia already met each other and had a story to tell together. See that here: • Mahalia Jackson singin...

    I am so thankful that my mother called me in from playing outside to watch this as it happened. I was only 11, but she knew it would be important to have witnessed this. I am so thankful to my father, who listened to Mahlia Jackson on the radio and bought some of her albums so that I new her music at this tender age. I am thankful to both of them for teaching this second generation Italian-American that there was no difference between black and white, and they showed this in the way they treated the African-Americans we met. Thank God Almighty! We aren't fully there yet, but we are much much closer than we were on this day 52 years ago. With love to my Brothers and Sisters on this good earth~

    I was a newborn when this happened, but I had the pleasure of thanking an elderly civil rights advocate as we sat together for lunch at a Woolworth's counter in a southern state. It humbles me to know the great heritage and legacy our ancestors left for us and urges me to uphold and extend this legacy.

I was also told that during Dr. King's speech, it was Mahalia Jackson who told whisper to Dr. King, now tell us about that dream. The "I have a Dream" was never suppose to be a part of the speech.

    During the March on Washington rally, Martin Luther King, Jr. was delivering a dull intellectual speech about the history of Southern resistance to racial equality and was bombing with the audience. Mahalia Jackson was behind him on the podium and, remembering an earlier version of the "I Have a Dream" speech she'd heard him give elsewhere, leaned over to him and said, "Give ’em the dream, Martin! Give ’em the dream!” He did, it electrified the crowd and it's what he’s most remembered for to this day.
