The Negro Sings a New Heaven

Mary Allen Grissom

These songs, with their original melodies, are valuable because they are here presented exactly as they were found and sung. Thus collected and preserved, they provide portraiture of the Afro-American folk song and background, and they remain a treasure source for future harmonization if that should be desired. In their simplicity and realism, they record a true emancipation of the black spirit.

Originally published in 1930.
