with us one of our preachers would preach. They only had two kinds of song books: ï3aptist Clueter, and Methodist Cluster. I kept one of the se ‚ tU a few years ago. Our preaahers could read some ‚ but only a very few other slave s . could read and write. If you found one that could you might knovï some of his marster‘ s chillun had slipped and learned it to him ‚ cause one thing they didn‘ t ‚ low was no colored folk to learn to read and write • Us had ~j~gjnt classes On Sunday, and at that time everybody could really sing. People can‘t sing now.“
