August 20, 2008

One of the hallmarks of our modern life is that months get honorary names. Plenty of them have to do with music.

And now, this September, America celebrates its first "Gospel Music Heritage Month."

The two speak with Farai Chideya about the effort and gospel's undeniable influence on modern music.
