As we see the passing of Negro Spirituals throughout Black American History, we should also look at how it can influence the now. At this time in life we, as Black Americans, are still fighting for the same equality as those who came before us. As we move on with our own movements, such as BLM, we should pay remembrance those who also fought before us and tell there stories through continuing to sing these Negro Spirituals. This is their history and what they have left behind for us to be used as a source of encouragement and strength through our present.
In conclusion, Negro Spirituals are a huge part of the Black American experience and has prolonged throughout every major fight for justice in the Black community. As we progress through the fight for equality in the now, we must pay respect to the music of ancestors.
