This episode is a 2 part tribute to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr and to the movement of freedom.  This Part 1 episode takes a look at how music is the soul of the movement.  Our guest Yara Allen, Director of Cultural Arts, Repairers of the Breach and Co-Director of Cultural Arts with the Poor People’s Campaign-A National Call for Moral Revival.  Another term that has been given to what Yara does is ‘theomusicologist’.

Yara answers questions like—“what in the world sent you into the streets singing”? And gives a great story about how music draws people into the movement.  The interview even includes Yara singing parts of a few of the songs in the movement like..”I’m on my way up..my mind is made up..gonna hold my head up..walking on in love”.
