From the time she was a little girl, Mahalia Jackson was singing songs of freedom. And then she met Martin Luther King, a man whose spoken words have come to define American civil rights. This hour, we'll talk about a children's book that illustrates their partnership, and talk about how books can teach kids the tumultuous history of race and equality.
