My daughter has to do a report on Mihalia Jackson the gospel singer-what kind of props can she get together for the report? We know she is in the Gospel Hall of Fame, she was a symbol for civil rights,she sang at Martin Luther Kings funeral,she owned a flower shop and a beauty salon, but, we canno't think of anything interesting to bring in, she also has to dress like her-any suggestions would be so appreciated.
What kind of props could I use for a report on Mihalia Jackson-the gospel singer?
There was a play/musical written about her growing up called "Do Black Patten Leather Shoes Really Reflect UP?" I suggest your daughter dress in black patten leather shoes, have a Bible, wear anklet socks and a dress. If she can jump rope have her take one and recite a rhyme while skipping. Many kids learned rhythm and rhyme/musical skills while playing such games. She could sing something like "Miss Susie had a steam boat, her steam boat had a bell, Miss Susie when to Heaven her steam boat went to Hello operator give me number nine....
Reply:Mahalia Jackson is often pictured in choir robes. I think that might be a good prop. A microphone for singing is another good one. Perhaps some sheet music - Go Tell It on the Mountain was one of her most famous recordings. Good luck!
Reply:All I can say is to look at some pics of her and copy what you see there...
Reply:Do an image on yahoo or even google. You can get some dressing ideas there.. My mother and grandmother had lot's of her albums when I was a kid. I grew up listening to gospel and jazz.. I always wondered why they never played her type of music in my church(Catholic). I am now a musician and still think she was one of the greats. Not bad for a white kid from NJ..
Reply:How about her voice,was used for Gods,Glory...Two points..
