Ironically enough, ring shouting wasn’t an act that was left in the 1800’s, it is a commodity that is used today. A modern form of ring shouting is largely just called “shout.” This is utilized in many black churches in what is called a “praise break”, which uses the original concept of ring shouting in which one moves in a circle while simultaneously stomping their feet, clapping, and of course shouting. The impact of ring shouting has lasted for centuries and is something that African Americans do even in this modern day.
