New on TikTok: The Power of Our Music I am strictly old school when it comes to music. I love songs by Earth, Wind & Fire like Devotion or Sing a Song. They keep me grounded and make me feel free. But have you ever thought about what freedom meant in music for our enslaved ancestors? Songs like Go Down, Moses called for liberation, while Follow the Drinking Gourd mapped escape routes. Wade in the Water warned runaways to evade bloodhounds, and Steal Away signaled secret plans to flee. These weren’t just songs—they were survival tools. Marcus Garvey understood the power of music—that it could unify and inspire action—a belief as vital now as it was then. At every UNIA meeting, they sang Ethiopia, thou land of our fathers. This anthem wasn’t just a song; it was a declaration of pride and purpose. Our voices still hold power. Whether singing, speaking, or writing, let’s honor that legacy and spread messages of liberation. Until the next time, walk good. #MarcusGarvey #theynotlikeus #blackhistorymonth2025✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 #FreedomSongs #MusicAndLiberation #NegroSpirituals #ResistanceThroughMusic #BlackCulture #BlackVoices #KnowYourHistory #SongsOfFreedom #PanAfricanism #BlackEmpowerment #StorytellingMatters
