015 Gospel and the Civil Rights

I’m going to be talking about the influence gospel music had on the civil rights movement. Everything from the labor unions uniting in the churches to what happened on May 5, 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama.

We’re officially locked in to finish the gospel series. I’m excited to share with you!
