Title: "Wade in the Water"
Artist: Traditional African American Spiritual, arranged by Moses Hogan
Genre: Spiritual
Notes: The African American spiritual genre developed over as African slaves were brought over to the United States and interacted with the culture of the Europeans who enslaved them. This form is unique to the United States and was not developed in the same way as Africans traveled to other parts of the world. The basis for the songs are strongly linked with Christian influence and old Christian hymns, and the Africans who created spirituals often had two meanings behind the words - the ideas of Christianity and the hardships of being a slave.

**Disclaimer: While I believe that all of the SQUILT music chosen is appropriate for classroom use, some songs may not completely align with a Christian worldview. Songs done by related artists are also not guaranteed to be in line with the values of a Christian worldview. Parents should help their children develop discernment in this area.**
