Moving On Up A Little Higher - A Conversation on Mahalia Jackson
Posted by Andy1917
Content: This Saturday, November 14, join us at Rainbow PUSH as we honor our veterans and celebrate the life and music of Mahalia Jackson. Rev. Stephen Thurston will moderate the Saturday Morning Forum. We’ll begin with a tribute to our veterans. Cynthia McKee, a U.S. Army veteran and Veterans Affairs Officer, will reflect on how veterans have shaped our country’s history and what their service means to our communities today. Then, authors Timothy B. Tyson and Mary D. Williams will read from their book, “Mahalia Jackson, Moving On Up a Little Higher,” and share how Jackson’s gospel voice helped carry the civil rights movement. Williams will also sing, and both authors will sign books after the reading. Bring your family and join us for continental breakfast when doors open at 8:30 a.m. The program begins at 10 a.m.
Date/Time: Nov. 14, 2026, 10 a.m.
Location: Operation PUSH Headquarters, 930 E. 50th St, Chicago
