"The swamp held two significant meanings: a natural wonder of immense beauty and a sanctuary for fugitive enslaved people seeking freedom along the Underground Railroad during the time of American slavery.... It is not merely a musical depiction of a geographic location, but a powerful reflection on the human spirit's enduring quest for freedom and the historical significance of a landscape that served as a beacon of hope." From notes by Leah Claiborne.
