The Gift To Sing (Unabridged) James Weldon Johnson
In the heart of the American South, amidst the echoes of slavery and the dawn of a new era, a young boy named James Weldon Johnson discovers the transformative power of music. "The Gift To Sing" is a poignant and evocative memoir that chronicles Johnson's journey from a humble childhood to becoming one of the most influential figures in African American literature and civil rights. Through his lyrical prose, Johnson paints a vivid portrait of a time and place where the human spirit soared above adversity, and the gift of song became a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.
