Celebrating The MLK Holiday With Socially Conscious Songs, Gospel And Dorinda Clark-Cole

Greater Wichita Ministerial League

Sunday, January 17

It's an hour of socially conscious songs and gospel as we celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Hear new music from Jarod Lawson and classics from Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Donny Hathaway. Plus, this week's DoubleTake features the 1976 gem "Harvest for the World" by The Isley Brothers and a version by Vanessa Williams.

We'll also talk with singer and evangelist Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole, one of the legendary members of The Clark Sisters. Clark-Cole is the featured speaker at the Greater Wichita Ministerial League's virtual MLK program, which will be streamed live on Facebook at noon on Monday, January 18. She shares what she hopes viewers take away from her speech, and teases the possibility of hearing engaging sounds by The Clark Sisters.

Carla Eckels is Director of Organizational Culture at KMUW. She produces and hosts the R&B and gospel show Soulsations and brings stories of race and culture to The Range with the monthly segment In the Mix. Carla was inducted into The Kansas African American Museum's Trailblazers Hall of Fame in 2020 for her work in broadcast/journalism.
