Music and the Underground Railroad: Tambourine

Description

In Louisiana, enslaved and free Black Americans met once per week in Congo Square, or Place de Congo, to express themselves through song and dance. The legacy of the kinds of music they created then still exists today, in Gospel music and spirituals. Our final video shows musician Bruce Barnes singing "Got on my Rockin' Shoes in the Morning (Hallelu, Hallelu)."
