Though she initially resisted, the persistent call would not leave her, and when she finally relented, she recalled that the music poured out of her.McLin’s powerful composition examines the struggle of African Americans in the United States from the era of slavery through the assassination of Dr. King. Throughout the cantata, the recurring refrain — “God sent a leader to right the nation’s wrong” — serves as both a musical anchor and a prophetic statement, affirming Dr. King’s enduring legacy and the continued call to justice.Reserve your free tickets here:https://www.purplepass.com/events/334085-mlk-concert-jan-26th-2026
