Answer:

Mahalia Jackson, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was next to impossible without Mahalia Jackson, that "I Have a Dream" of Martin Luther King Jr., the speech took place. The Queen of Gospel is the title given to Jackson. She was a vocal legend who served lead gospel from church to a wider population. She became the first singer to win a Grammy in the year 1961. She remained one of the significant figures in the civil rights movement.
