Came across this today looking up a song.
Ever since I was a small boy I was so amazed by stories of slaves who sang great songs of unison and light and love while shackled.
Here is "This little light of mine" Being used at Charlotte NC

| Quote: | Ask Freedom Singer Rutha Mae Harris, and she'll tell you plainly: You can't just sing "This Little Light of Mine." You gotta shout it:
"Everywhere I go, Lord, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!" |
