Music is powerful - it is storytelling from different perspectives that we translate through our voices, our bodies and our fingertips. A universal language that transcends barriers.
Black artists have always told stories of their struggles - and their triumphs - through music.
This Juneteenth, we can use music as a tool to help us heal from our past struggles. It can give us a language to use to help us find the words we are seeking.
While you enjoy the original song by Shawn Moses, take a look at a few of the songs that we think bring Black history to life. A perfect playlist to listen to as you head to St. John's Church - The Beloved Community for their Juneteenth Cookout - c’mon down as you’re all invited to the cookout!
So which song are you listening to on the way?
