We dedicate this edition of UpFront Soul to the memory of Rep. John Lewis. We'll hear Bloody Sunday by The Cole Boyz, March on Selma by Blue Mitchell, and we'll hear a field recording of young girls singing at the Selma to Montgomery March. We'll also continue our Joan Armatrading for Beginners series with a set featuring her Sleight of Hand album, and we'll hear an excerpt of my recent conversation with Rasheed Ali about two powerful songs from his 1968: The Other Side of Town album.
