“One night at the Copperville Church the handsome brown leader of a visiting quartet made a plea to the congregation not to be ashamed to return to their old songs. He himself had just come within an hour from the threshing field, he was one of them, one of the workers, and he spoke with power and authority.”
These words were recorded by the artist who received the spirituals book as a gift from an art critic from New York City.
