Description of Like a Bird: The Art of the American Slave Song
Drawing on biblical imagery, slave songs both expressed the sorrow of life in bondage and offered a rallying cry for the spirit. Coretta Scott King Award-winning illustrator Michele Wood conveys the rich meaning behind these historic songs.
