- Mahalia Jackson was born into a preacher's family in 1911 in New Orleans. This background indicates a humble origin.
- By her mid-teens, she was already working as a maid and laundress, suggesting a life of hard work from a young age.
- Despite hardships, she dreamed of a better life, imagining a future where the "sun is going to shine down on me."

- "Grubbed" means to dig or search laboriously, which doesn't match the context.
