Mavis Staples Remembers Singing β€œThe Weight”

I've interviewed Mavis a bunch. This was the first time, and at one point the conversation got so emotional that she gently asked if we needed to stop so she could give me a hug. (We were on the phone. This was not possible.) www.newyorker.com/culture/cult...
