034 - The Gift of Music: Gale Jones Murphy

Gale Jones Murphy is an African American woman with a history of music coursing through her veins. With 700 songs written and a hopeful 310 more to go, Mrs. Gale is still fulfilling her dreams: next year, she’ll be performing at Carnegie Hall—a prophetic dream of her father. A gifted pianist and singer, Mrs. Gale describes her gift of music and how her talent has put her in all sorts of circumstances. Mrs. Gale has seen it all, becoming the first Black student to attend Memphis Junior Academy and Highland Academy, while also becoming the first female and the first Black person to become Student Association President of Southern Adventist University. 

In this episode, we discuss Mrs. Gale’s ambitions, how she became the first Black student to do A LOT of things, her music, her unrelenting love for God and seeking His wisdom, and how she was unhired from a job because of her race.

This is a part of our COVID content series, so bear with the audio on this Zoom call. Prepare yourself for an incredible experience as Mrs. Gale plays the piano LIVE just for us.
