Songs from Slavery

This brings back memories of learning this in elementary. I'm surprised that I remembered Peg Leg Joe's name [before his name was said]. Good job on the video!

This is history but it 's a sad history!

Great!

I am currently learning all about this era, including the slave trade. It is very interesting.

Imagine how much amazing music we'll never even know about! Too bad how it was written but I wish I could hear what they sang!

Never forget, never forget, never forget,never forget, never forget, never forget, never forget, never forget, never foget, never forget, never forget, never forget

I don't know who you are that's reading, but I'm proud of your abilities. This was awesome to watch.

I love old hymns and old slave songs (see "Sambo Jo" slave skit I posted) because those are reminders of where our people have come from and what they had to do to be free.

I'm rating this video as excellent because of the great information you give.

We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.
The slaves of the past smile on President Obama.
Keep voting for change.

weird i learned these songs when i was in chior and didnt know they were slavery songs but i love them

Thank you...I 'm a 45 years old white woman, I say this because I have so many nationalities in my family and never knew the substance of these songs. I'm very glad to know and very glad the songs were sung.
