The Black Spirituals
Archbishop
discusses
liberation
P A R T I I - JO Y IN ST R U G G LE
The apirituals were rooted or grouaded
in hard, bitter and inearapable realitiea of
Black American enslavement. Hence the
notion of a "pie in the ik y by and by "
orientation of the Black spirituals is
largely a fiction based upon a false
comprehension of the outlook of the
enslaved community.
Its hope or
confidence came from a looking through
and beyond what was immediately seen
but not "after the immediate." as on a
time scale.
Joy and conflict were intertwined
Conflict marked a journey in which the
company of the angelic or heavenly hosts
were not so much ultimate but immediate
help mates and companions. The Black
spiritual. "Singin' Wid a Sword In Ma
Hand”, illustrates this mixture of
consonance of joy and conflict.
