Vy Higginsen's musical mission--magnificent
"Since 2007, 60 Minutes has followed a Harlem theater producer as she preserves a special part of American culture: African American music"
This is a magnificent story about "Alive and Kickin" group of older persons of color teaching the young black gospel and other music in addition to relating their life stories which are heart rending and give inspiration to those who suffer greatly but find it's never too late to resurrect one's life. Included a gentleman who was imprisoned for 40 years but returned to live another day. It is inspirational. The idea is to pass this gift on from generation to generation. I link it below.
