The Blind Boys of Alabama - an interview with Jimmy Carter

Our guest on today’s program is Jimmy Carter from the legendary gospel group, The Blind Boys of Alabama. Carter was born in 1932 in the segregated south. The group, which was founded at an Alabama school for the blind in the 1940s, has gone on to win five Grammy awards and has performed at the White House for three different presidents. But for decades, they couldn’t eat at white restaurants or stay in white-only hotels when touring. On the program, Carter discusses the Blind Boys' incredible career, the progress America has made because of the civil rights movement, as well as the important work that still needs to be done.
