Course Project for AFAS 160D1 with Dr. Bryan Carter

My course project is about African American Spirituals. The podcast includes a short history about spirituals, and include in-depth information about six specific types of spirituals, including: work songs, social songs, spirituals as religious expression, call and response, slow and melodic, and fast and syncopated.

The podcast includes the following spirituals:
