RecommendThis disc is an amazing inspiration! Smithsonian has collected a bunch of aural testimonies from Black Americans. You can plainly see where the Blacks have come from after one close listen to this historical document. Disc One is separated into 4 parts; The Oral Tradition, Testimony Against Slavery, Reconstruction and Repression, and Voices of Pride and Protest 1. Disc Two carries on with Voices of Pride and Protest II, Th Sounds of Twentieth-Century America, Voices of Civil Right and Black Power, and Contemporary African American Voices which finishes off with Arrested Development's "People Everyday". The album alternates between heartfelt prose and poetry with musical tracks too. Anyone at all interested in African American roots will love this compilation, everyone else will enjoy the music and realize what a force Afro-Americans have had on modern music.
