This Kronos Quartet program honors iconic American activist voices of the 20th century and beyond, paying homage to gospel legend Mahalia Jackson and her vital friendships with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and oral historian Studs Terkel. A daughter of Jim Crow Louisiana and the Great Migration, Jackson was a central voice of the civil rights movement. Her legacy grounds two major works: Zachary J. Watkins's Peace Be Till, featuring the recorded voice of King's lawyer Clarence B. Jones, and Stacy Garrop's Glorious Mahalia, built on a recorded interview between Jackson and Terkel.
