When the African Slaves were enslaved, they sang slave songs. Some were secret messages, and others helped to preserve their culture. They sang about several different things, and about loved ones or about things they loved, and the songs were passed down from generation to generation.
Through Storytelling
Books
Africans told stories because they had wanted to keep their culture alive. When they were enslaved, africans were forbidden to read or write. As a solution, they told stories to teach their children about their culture and life.
Enslaved Africans kept memories of their homeland alive through oral traditions, such as storytelling, songs, and dance that passed down cultural practices and history. They also maintained spiritual beliefs and practices that connected them with their African roots, like the veneration of ancestors and nature spirits.
