Mahalia Jackson wird mit Kulturdistrict in Chicago geehrt

Die legendäre Gospel-Sängerin Mahalia Jackson wird posthum mit einem Kulturdistrict in Chicago geehrt. Der Bezirk, der ihren Namen trägt, soll dazu beitragen, das Erbe der Sängerin zu bewahren und zu feiern. Jackson, die als “Queen of Gospel” bekannt war, wurde in New Orleans geboren, verbrachte aber einen Großteil ihres Lebens in Chicago.

Der Kulturdistrict wird verschiedene kulturelle Veranstaltungen und Programme beherbergen, die Jacksons Beitrag zur Musik und zur Bürgerrechtsbewegung würdigen. Die Sängerin war bekannt für ihre kraftvolle Stimme und ihren unermüdlichen Einsatz für soziale Gerechtigkeit. Sie trat sogar bei der berühmten “I Have a Dream”-Rede von Martin Luther King Jr. auf.

Fans von Mahalia Jackson freuen sich über die Ehrung, die sie endlich in ihrer Heimatstadt erfahren. Der Kulturdistrict soll nicht nur das Vermächtnis der Sängerin bewahren, sondern auch die Bedeutung der Gospel-Musik und des Aktivismus würdigen. Es wird erwartet, dass der Bezirk zu einem beliebten Anlaufpunkt für Bewohner und Touristen wird, die Jacksons Musik und Erbe erleben möchten.
