Wanda Howard Battle, a well-known African-American Christian vocalist and church tour leader will take center stage April 14 when the Israeli embassy in Washington hosts a virtual celebration for Israelâs 73rd Independence Day.
Battle, a Montgomery powerhouse whose parents were involved in the Civil Rights Movement, was invited to sing âHatikvah,â Israelâs national anthem, after meeting Israelâs ambassador to the US, Gilad Erdan, during his recent trip to Montgomery. She also will sing America’s national anthem.
âI was blessed to guide Ambassador Erdan and his delegation of about 12 people a few weeks ago at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church,â said Battle who is known for her spiritually and musically invigorating tours of the historic church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached.
