When Mahalia was six, her mother, Charity, died. It was a terrible blow to the family, which now had to face the decision as to who would keep Halie and her brother, Peter. The strict matriarch of the clan, Aunt Duke, assumed this responsibility. The children reportedly had to work from sun-up to sun-down doing housework for clients as their mother had done. Aunt Duke would inspect the house using the "white glove" method. If the house was not cleaned properly, Halie would be beaten with a "cat-o-nine-tails." If one of the other relatives was unable to do their chores, or clean at their job, Halie or one of her cousins was expected to perform that particular task. School was not an option. https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Mahalia_Jackson

Ich glaube sie hieß Mahalia Paul. Bin mir aber nicht ganz sicher…
