About

This performance/workshop in words and music brings to light the significance and beauty of the remarkable songs associated with the Underground Railroad. These uniquely American heritage songs are recognized as a distinct musical genre. The music that will be featured is based on the coded Negro spirituals that runaway slaves used to elude capture.
