Hello Jason! I liked how you mentioned that these songs also act as a “coping mechanism” for African Americans. I had a very similar response and felt that “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” was the most significant due […]
According to Du Bois, the “sorrow songs” give us insight into the feelings of African Americans during the time of slavery. These songs were passed down through generations with people not knowing what the wor […]
