I can never get rid of that conception. Those songs still follow me, to deepen my hatred of slavery, and quicken my sympathies for my brethren in bonds.\" - Frederick Douglass. The 'Songs Of Slavery and Emancipation' project presents recently discovered songs composed by enslaved people and explicitly calling for resistance to slavery. Some originate as early as 1800 and others as late as the outbreak of the Civil War. The project also includes long-lost songs of the abolitionist movement, some of which were written by fugitive slaves as well as free black people, challenging common misconceptions of abolitionism. Thirty one songs are presented in a double CD containing new performances in a traditional style.  An accompanying 80 page liner notes includes complete lyrics as well as reproductions of historic documents.  The liner notes also include essays by producer Mat Callahan, scholar Robin D.G. Kelley and activist organizer Kali Akuno. A companion full length book documents the sources of these newly released songs, as well as providing historic context. The CDs and book will be published in June 2022 by the University Press of Mississippi in conjunction with Jalopy Records.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgonizing, Cruel Slavery Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dirge of St. Malo (Louisiana Creole)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dirge of St. Malo (English)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHymn of Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncle Gabriel the Negro General\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Negro's Complaint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognition March of the Independance of Hayti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe African Hymn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNat Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Father, How Long?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarch On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren, We All Shall Be Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOl' Massa He Come Dancing Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Year of Jubilo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Enlisted Men (the Negro Battle Hymn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRebeldia na Bandabou\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong of the \"Aliened American\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Song for Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStole and Sold From Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight On!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlight of the Bondman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Underground Railroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo The White People of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiberty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Band of Thieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe True Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Join The Abolitionists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Voice of Six Hundred Thousand Nominally Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe're Coming!
