Enjoy these awesome talents combined with a 54-piece orchestra to deliver beautiful music with the historical significance of the old-time spirituals. Musically, these favorites have been arranged in the style of George Gershwin's musical Porgy and Bess, adding a contemporary beat without sacrificing the historical or ethnic spirit. On the liner notes, you'll read about Rev. Josiah Henson, a leader in the underground railroad and the inspiration behind Harriet Beecher Stowe's landmark book, Uncle Tom's Cabin as well as 9 other inspiring slaves who have left behind a tremendous legacy. This album is full of songs, some that are toe-tappin' and that are heart stirring, but the message is always faithful to the gospel.

- You need only to read the Bible to realize how much God cares for the oppressed. In 19th-century America, the oppressed were the slaves - a trial that brought the nation to the Civil War. Yet out of that dark period of US history came some of the most moving and soul-stirring songs of faith and hope. As you listen, you'll hear some of this century's finest talent as you touch that century's heart.
