INDIANAPOLIS — The “Empress of Soul” Gladys Knight will headline a fundraiser for the Madam Walker Legacy Center.
Knight will perform at the 2nd annual Legacy Fest on Friday, June 13, 2023.

We are honored to host a musical icon such as Gladys Knight at the Madam Walker Legacy Center,” stated MWLC President Kristian Little Stricklen. “Her successful career in the music business is a great testament to her talent.
