St. Andrews Episcopal church in Montevallo hosted a discussion about the African American Spiritual.
UM student Quincy Hall put together and lead the discussion through a presentation that included pictures and videos of slave cruelty and the effectiveness of spirituals at the time.
Montevallo residents and students that attended the discussion learned about African Americans overcame much adversary by keeping their faith.
Revrand John Wesley who runs the church welcomed the lecture. He felt it was important for people to hear about African American history to serve as a reminder of where we came from and as a society to grow.
