It follows the successful career of Mahalia Jackson (played by Ledisi) as well as her unique friendship and devotion to Martin Luther King Jr. (played by Columbus Short) and her unsung contribution to the Civil Rights Movement.

Named after one of Jackson's signature songs, "Remember Me", the film, set during the tumultuous period between 1956 and 1963, will chronicle the successful career of Jackson as well as her unique friendship and devotion to Martin Luther King Jr. and her unsung contribution to the Civil Rights Movement. Also referred to as the Queen of Gospel, Jackson was pivotal in the encouragement and inspiration of MLK’s famous I Have A Dream speech. She often accompanied King to perform at rallies and events and became the silent voice behind the great activist and civic leader.
