The causes of justice, freedom, and brotherhood have lost a real champion whose dedication and commitment knew no midnight." -- Coretta Scott King "We knew her as the celebrity, the black woman who came from poverty in New Orleans to become the darling of presidents and kings and queens. We knew her as the poor girl who worked as a domestic, singing only in church on Sundays, and we knew her as her talent took her up the ladder to success and wealth... We knew the Mahalia who attracted literally thousands of fans both black and white, to any public appearance she made... But to us, Mahalia was much more than this. Mahalia was a friend, perhaps even closer than a friend - almost like one of the family." -- Ebony magazine |
