Spirituals Project

Thanks to Sojourners, I just found out about this awesome site: Sweet Chariot: the story of the spirituals. It is a multimedia site run by The Spirituals Project at the University of Denver on the history of spirituals and their impact on us today. I could spend a whole day on the site. Then again, I spent four years in school singing spirituals such as "There is a Balm in Gilead", "Great Day", and "My Lord What a Mornin'". I never got a solo in the spirituals, though. My voice ain't big enough. (/choir memories)
