Oh Freedom!
Loading...
Uploaded by swflprof on May 2, 2008
A Negro Spiritual with pictures from the Library of Congress and National Archives. I decided on this Spiritual after researching the National Archives for photographs of Slavery. This is a topic I felt should not be ignored, nor exploited, rather remembered lest we repeat history.

This recording of "Oh Freedom" was done by The Princely Players. You can find the recording on "Wade in the Water: African American Sacred Music Traditions, Vol. I-IV" which was distributed by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. It's a 4-CD box set so its kind of expensive but you can also get it in MP3 format for cheeper.

Yes - but the emotion of the story is missing.
Do you know the story behind this song... check out: spirituals and healing community: Oh Freedom --- much more accuracy and relevance.

Beau chant sur un sujet tragique... Martin Luther King doit se rejouir, de là haut, du choix du nouveau président :"j'ai fait un rêve..."
Dieu fasse le 44 ème Président respecte ses engagements et aille même au delà!
