Synopsis
Echoes of Africa: A Musical Odyssey to African-American Freedom (Condensed Edition)
Discover the powerful, uplifting story of African-American resilience and the music that shaped a nation.
In celebration of Black History Month, Echoes of Africa: A Musical Odyssey to African-American Freedom offers a condensed version of the beloved historical journey of African-American slaves. Narrated by an insightful Southern African-American elder, this beautiful, shorter retelling captures the profound impact of African music and spirituals in the fight for freedom.
