At 85, Mavis Staples is still singing in front of large
audiences and sharing her message of love, faith, and justice.
She’s been performing since age eight as part of her family’s
gospel group The Staple Singers, and has become one of
America’s most admired musicians, with multiple Grammys, a
Kennedy Center Honor, and a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame. But Mavis has been more than a thrilling singer; she has
also stood alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., at numerous Civil
Rights protests where her voice was a rallying cry to the
country. Now she and acclaimed author Carole Boston Weatherford
bring her story and her inspiring message to young people in
this poetic, illuminating book, beautifully illustrated by
Steffi Walthall.
Book, 48 pages.
