It is the story of Jesus, told through spirituals, as seen through the eyes of slaves who related it to
their own lives and dreams. These spirituals originated under slavery when African-Americans recreated the stories of the Bible and passed them down in song. Spirituals gave them the hope of freedom and made life endurable.
