Negro spirituals are religious songs that originated among enslaved African Americans in the United States. They blend African musical traditions with Christian hymns and often express themes of hope, liberation, and faith in the face of adversity. These songs played a significant role in maintaining cultural identity and providing emotional support within the African American community.
