Description
Spirituals are songs of faith that were sung by the people of African descent who served as slaves in the South in the early years of America. As they suffered in this life, they cried out in hope of the life to come in songs such as “Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen, Nobody Knows But Jesus…” and “I Want To Cross Over Jordan.”
But they also sang songs of joy, such as “All God’s Children Got Shoes” and “Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho.”
These songs were a way of expressing their faith in God as many of the slaves converted to Christianity, but they were also believed to be a way of protesting against social injustices orchestrated against Americans of African descent. They are very interesting to listen to especially because they always carry with them a deep spiritual meaning.
