More Details

Summary:

Starting in the 1940s, Gospel's hour 2 explores the Golden Age of Gospel -- the dramatic explosion of Black sacred music and the segregated highways of the American South -- through the successful careers of Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin. As the lines between the sacred and secular blur, gospel music becomes the powerful soundtrack of the freedom struggle.
