Listen to this article

How I Got Over is the title of a spiritual performed by legendary gospel singer and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. favorite, Mahalia Jackson. The song was part of the program at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom where Dr. King’s I Have A Dream speech was delivered. It was Ms. Jackson who called out from her seat behind the podium to Dr. King: “Tell them about the dream, Martin!” which prompted King to go off script with his historic and inspirational words.

It’s also the title for the Boston Children’s Chorus’ 14th Annual Dr. Martin Luter King, Jr. Tribute Concert taking place on Jan. 16 at Jordan Hall. This uplifting, gospel-themed concert celebrates Dr. King, the spirit and passion of all those who marched with Dr. King that monumental day and still march today for economic and racial equality.
