      GodLoveFreedom You've got it twisted, it was the hymns that gave slaves hope and kept them relevant even when white folks were selling them like chattel. Slaves were torn from their families and brought here and stripped of their names, religion, culture, and language. Yet, through hymns they not only prayed and praised God, but to send secret messages to each other they learned to communicate through song and instruments. So, don't blame the gospel of these hymns for keeping humans in bondage, blame the men that put them there.

    I remember the day and cannot forget Aretha’s funeral. I remember her when I was a child she was nice to me.❤

    And that’s why I love my Black women. It’s like they are tapping into the spiritual and translating the message from that realm. Nothing like it!
