From the shores of Africa
American bondage, American freedom
Rebels, resistants, and outlyers
Symptoms of liberty and Blackhead Signposts
Many thousands crossing over
Strange river in Canaan
Beyond the North Star
A ferment of fugitives
Called to go forward
On Jordan's stormy banks
The blood-red ironies of God
"We are coming up"
Slavery chain done broke at last
The challenge of the children
Black hope, black soldiers, and black codes
The struggle ends, the struggle begins
