On My Journey Now: Looking at African-American History through the Spiritualsby Nikki Giovanni (juvenile book)
Author and poet Nikki Giovanni has always loved the spirituals and has visited various slave ports in Africa, trying to learn as much as she can about the people brought to our shores as slaves. In this book, she talks to American young people about the first Africans in America - what their lives were like and why the spirituals were so important and evolved the way they did. This is a touching narrative that made me want to learn more.
