You need only to read the Bible to realize how much God cares for the oppressed. In 19th-century America, the oppressed were the slaves - a trial that brought the nation to the Civil War. Yet out of that dark period of US history came some of the most moving and soul-stirring songs of faith and hope. As you listen, you'll hear some of this century's finest talent as you touch that century's heart. Musically, these favorites have been arranged in the style of George Gershwin's musical Porgy and Bess, adding a contemporary beat while enriching the historical and ethnic spirit. On the liner notes, you'll read about Rev. Josiah Henson, a leader in the underground railroad and the inspiration behind Harriet Beecher Stowe's landmark book, Uncle Tom's Cabin as well as 9 other inspiring slaves who have left behind a tremendous legacy. This album is full of songs, some that are toe-tappin' and that are heart stirring, but the message is always faithful to the gospel. Features the voices of: Wintley Phipps, Larnelle Harris, Billy Davis Jr., and Marilyn McCoo
