Hear the District · Then & Now

District Soundtrack

Every district tells two stories — where it came from, and where it is today. Both play here, 30 seconds each.

LegacyWhere it came from

Gospel and the songs of the movement — faith, family, and the courage of the corridor.

Take My Hand, Precious Lord

Thomas A. Dorsey

The hymn of the movement, sung in the churches that anchored Auburn Avenue.
