Black Spiritual Songs, by Prof. Tom Baskett (Berklee College of Music). What are the African American Spirituals (the Black Spirituals)? Where does what's often described as Gospel music come from? In this video Prof. Baskett introduces us to Black spiritual songs, which he describes as "the earliest Black theology." It is a devotionally and spiritually uplifting video on the Black spirituals (or African American spirituals) and the origins of Gospel music. And it is theologically rich. It can be used in classrooms, churches, and anywhere where folks want to understand the spiritual depths and the rich history of African American spirituals. There is also great content in this video on African American faith and the role of the Bible.
