Chicago’s own Mahalia Jackson, the Queen of Gospel. So much has been said over the Beyoncé / Ledisi performance fiasco, but I’m sorry Ms. Jackson (Whoooooooo) is the original voice behind that master piece.
Arguably one of the most influential gospel singers in the world in her era and recorded 30 albums (and yall can’t make 1 smh).
I’ve heard she had a crib in the neighborhood that raised me. Not sure if that’s true but if so, Chatham stand up!!!!
Words from the original MJ,
“I sing God’s music because it makes me feel fee; it gives me hope. With the blues, when you finish, you still have the blues”
Let that marinate….
Praises to the most high on #TestifyTuesday, God is awesome!!! Now, go be a blessing to someone ✌️

#28DaysOdBlackHistory #Day15
I’m battling a migraine so I’m going to make this quick. In January 1923 a little town in Florida called Rosewood a massacre occurred. A white woman in a neighboring town made a false claim she was raped by a black drifter.
The events sparked from this lie resulted in black’s being hunted down and lynched for about 6 days. Rosewood was a predominantly black town, and the residents left their homes to hide in the woods. Rosewood was literally burned to the ground.
They say the casualty count was only 6 blacks and 2 whites. But reports differ, I’ve heard upward 40 or more blacks were hunted down like dogs and exterminated.
Look up the movie Rosewood with Don Cheadle, but be forewarned, you will be hurt and pissed off.
Racism is wack, let’s do better!
