This week, the legendary singer and civil rights determine Mavis Staples is popping 85 and there is no signal of her slowing down: She launched a brand new music, “Worthy,” and a kids’s e book, Bridges As an alternative of Partitions: The Story of Mavis Staples.
Right now, Mavis joins host Brittany Luse to share tales from her life: what it was wish to be mentored by Mahalia Jackson, how she helped create the soundtrack for the Civil Rights motion, how she was spurned by the church then welcomed again, and what it was wish to collaborate with Prince.
