Abernathy, while showing you first-hand glimpses of who they were as people. Donzaleigh is also the lead soloist on "The Listening," a unique social justice choral project inspired by "Beyond Vietnam: A Time for Break Silence," a speech that Dr. King gave in April 1967. "The Listening" is now available as a single through Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, and Pandora.
