Wade in the Water | History And Secret Codes UGRR | Spirituals A National Treasure

Master Class Series: American music heritage begins with the history of the African American Spirituals, as the first original immigrant music created by the enslaved Africans in the cotton fields of the Old South in America. The history and secret codes within the spiritual ‘Wade In The Water’ is brought to life in a small clip of his performance in Colonial Williamsburg VA. As a storyteller & musician my Master Classes tell the stories and oral history of America's musical heritage and how it all began with the African American Spirituals. Building on my own dream it was my intention to ensure the enslaved Africans were credited with creating America's first original immigrant musical art form. So in 2007, I introduced and helped pass by unanimous vote historic Twin Resolutions in the US Congress, to honor the slaves for their contributions and gifts to our nation with our deepest gratitude and respect and recognize the African American Spiritual as a National Treasure. These Master Classes are Educational, Entertaining & Healing. They are appropriate for Adults and University Students. https://www.calvinearl.com
