The "Queen of Gospel" Mahalia Jackson played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, advising and inspiring Martin Luther King Jr. During the 1963 March on Washington, Jackson urged King to speak from the heart, which led to the iconic "I have a dream" speech. Her voice and wisdom were indispensable to the movement. #CivilRights #MahaliaJackson #MLK
