    This gave me chills. Just to imagine my ancestors trying to keep positive creating these songs to communicate while working hard blood sweat and tears just to get through the day. And today these songs are timeless. 🎉

    I wish people filled with racism and hatred would understand that we cannot changed the ignorance of our past, but we can change the future, with hopes of the world becoming a better place. It has to begin with each of us realizing no one is superior to anyone else, we all live, breath, eat, love, feel pain, and die. No one is exempt. No one deserves superior treatment and no one deserves to be put down and degraded. With that being said, Michael, you have a blessed day and may the peace of the Lord find a place in your heart.

It is so beautiful how respect and reverence were given to God in spite of the suffering, and I know that God will take all our suffering away.

    To think I was introduced to this song through Alvin and The Chipmunks singalong tapes as a child-- learning the real whys and depth to it came later. It's much more beautiful, and whole, through these singers.
