About this Event
Join us this Saturday, November 14, at Rainbow PUSH headquarters in Chicago for our Saturday Morning Forum, hosted by our President, Yusef D. Jackson.
As we continue to honor Veterans Day, Cynthia McKee, a U.S. Army veteran and Veterans Affairs Officer, will open the program with remarks on the role veterans have played in our nation’s history and why their service still matters to our communities today.
We’ll then welcome authors Timothy B. Tyson and Mary D. Williams for a reading from their book, Mahalia Jackson, Moving On Up a Little Higher: The Story of an American Civil Rights Pioneer. Together, we’ll explore how Jackson used her voice to bring the sound of gospel to the civil rights movement. Williams will also give a special musical performance, and both authors will join us for a book signing following the reading.
