The collection features songs created by African-American slaves, expressing deep emotions tied to their experiences. While some were penned post-emancipation, all reflect the pain of slavery, encapsulating crushed hopes and sorrow akin to the fog over rice swamps. Despite the prevailing misery, the lyrics also convey a profound faith in a better life beyond their struggles, highlighting the resilience and hope of their creators.
