Mavis Staples Conversation

This week we were lucky enough to have Mavis Staples call in and talk about how she has been spending her time in quarantine. We also wanted to take a look back on her storied life from her time with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the legendary Staple family BBQs in Chicago, her memories of opening for the Beatles and the two times Bob Dylan proposed to her. We hope you enjoy this intimate and candid conversation as much as we did.
