A founding voice of the Howard University Gospel Choir, a pioneer who reshaped gospel music, and a servant-leader whose compositions carried faith from sanctuary to world stage. His music gave comfort, courage, and praise across generations. Howard was his home, and his legacy will forever echo here. 🕊️🎶 Read More On The Dig: thedig.howard.edu/all-storie…
