PBS Series: Many Rivers to Cross

Viewing online the PBS Special Series, Many Rivers to Cross. The Black Atlantic (the 1st series) reflects on the Middle Passage. A great rendition of the Spiritual, Wade in the Water, was soulfully sung to describe the heart wrenching journey. The Age of Slavery (the 2nd series) reveals the inhumanity of this time period. The Spiritual, Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, that was poetically sung formulated questions and provided a beacon of hope for freedom one day.Spirituals like these are featured in my latest book, My Soul/African American Spirituals. To listen to a sample of these spirituals, click the book trailer on www.akclassicstories.com.
