This book uncovers recently discovered songs from enslaved people and the abolitionist movement, highlighting their historical significance and challenging misconceptions about abolitionism. Featuring lyrics from both slave and abolitionist songs, it emphasizes their role in advocating for freedom, equality, and justice, making these vital pieces of history accessible to contemporary audiences.
