Franklin spoke about the future of the museum keeping the music alive.
“Music and the history of black people has always done that and so I hope that we will continue to do it with integrity and with excellence,” said singer Kirk Franklin.

The sold out luncheon was held at the City Winery in Nashville.
Tamela Mann was snapped on the carpet. Is it just me or is her hair and makeup always flawless?
Kelly Price was also in attendance, and she made sure to snap a couple pictures with Tamela Mann and LeAndria Johnson. I can’t help but imagine those 3 doing a gospel song together… That would be bananas!!!
