NC Freedom Park celebrates the inspiration and reflections of North Carolina’s African American history. Led by the dynamic vocalist and historian Mary D. Williams, this incredible performance honors the ideals of NC Freedom Park. The event will also feature tables inviting attendees to explore NC Freedom Park and the valuable resources offered by the African American Heritage Commission, the State Library of North Carolina, and the State Archives of North Carolina.
With a voice reminiscent of Mahalia Jackson, her dynamic vocals soothe troubled minds and lift the heavy hearts of those who witness her awesome performances. Powerhouse psalmist Mary D. Williams is truly that – “power in the house." A native of Raleigh, NC, Mary is no stranger to the gospel scene. She has been ministering solo at local churches, festivals and various events for many years, developing a strong following from performances with such artists as Bobby Jones, Sister Cantaloupe, Lee Williams & the Spiritual QC’s, Luther Barnes, Keith “Wonder Boy” Johnson, as well as appearances on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
