Slave work songs & spirituals were used to communicate in code, coordinate arduous labour, and convey hope for a better afterlife.

Our songs are our history. If we do not have our songs, we do not know where we are or where we have been. We don't know how to remember what has happened to us. (Sicangu elder, 1996) [Lundquist/Sims, 1996]

Today: Tapping in to African American music... -Offers all students exposures to new genres -Allows African American students a respite/reconnect from potential culture loss -Excellence in music can transfer in to other areas, breaking down old societal norms
