Born in Memphis in 1950, in the American South still scarred by segregation, Dee Dee Bridgewater grew up in Michigan. At the height of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, she championed the ideals of freedom through the power of her voice. Since then, she has continued to sing a peaceful struggle that feels more relevant than ever.
