MLK Day Special: A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood

Listen to A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood: A Musical Journey in the Life of Martin Luther King, Jr Monday at Noon on WKMS. Host Terrance McKnight interweaves musical examples with Dr. King's own speeches and sermons to illustrate the powerful place that music held in his work--and examines how the musical community responded to and participated in Dr. King's cause. Some of the music includes Billie Holiday, Count Basie and His Orchestra, Duke Ellington, and Bob Dylan.
