Sweet Honey in the Rock

From We Who Believe in Freedom by Bernice Johnson Reagon and Sweet Honey in the Rock

All of the energy of our living goes into our singing during our concerts. We are sharing so much more than a concert of songs. We are calling our people together. As a singer and a song leader, I draw upon the singing I sang in jail when singing was a bond. Singing gave us something to use as a weave and a connection.
