デミ・ロヴァートさんのインスタグラム写真 - (デミ・ロヴァートInstagram)「Repost from @msmahaliajackson: On August 28, 1963, Mahalia Jackson shouted “Tell them about the dream Martin”. MLK had planned to deliver a different speech at the March on Washington. He had actually gone off script and decided to deliver his dream speech instead of the one he wrote about America giving Black people “a bad check.” As he started talking, a voice rang out: “Tell them about ‘the dream,’ Martin.” That voice was Mahalia Jackson, his favorite Gospel singer who often traveled with him and sang before he delivered his messages. When she said those words, King looked to her sitting below him, pushed aside his script and delivered one of history’s most powerful speeches! This is so powerful to me for another reason. Much has been written about the sexism and marginalization of women in the Civil Rights Movement. Rightly so. But as a historian and journalist, I also like to find moments of inversion and nuance when interpreting American life. There on that stage, King is surrounded largely by a phalanx of men. But then when I look at this photo my eyes are primarily drawn to the woman on his left, Dorothy Height, and then down to Jackson who is looking up at him. Look at Jackson's eyes. Did she give him this look before or after she beckoned him to “tell them about the dream, Martin?” You can see by her body language and the expectation in her gaze that she knew the power of her agency, her influence and her voice. She clearly understood the significance and urgency of the moment. Out of all of those men surrounding him, he listened to HER voice and changed course so quickly that it was barely noticeable to the average eye. In somewhat of a mini fell swoop, he gathered his script and pushed it aside. In other photos the podium is completely clear. Jackson was there. On that platform. Using her voice. Calling out. Seizing a moment of opportunity in a historical period of uncertainty and turmoil. With those six words, "tell them about the dream, Martin," she helped change the course of history. #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingjr #marchonwashington #mahaliajackson #washingtondc」11月30日 2時15分
