Music though time

 Hello and welcome to my blog this blog is about hidden words in music about the slaves that were taken to America.

Harriet Tubman was a black woman born into slavery and she helped people escape and the amazing thing is she never got caught and never lost a person. The way she helped these people escape is by an underground railroad.

This part of history will not be forgotten because black women and men should have never gone through this to all the black people who died because of racism will not be forgotten. 

  Wade in the water 

The song wade in the water is a famous song that is about slaves that would go to the lake and wash away they're sent to run away so the dogs won't smell them and track them down. Music was used to help them keep them interested during the day and to keep their hopes up. 

lyrics

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Chorus
Who are those children all dressed in White?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Chorus
Who are those children all dressed in Blue?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

my maps take a look at this this is where the slaves were traded and where they traveled on the slave ships.
