In Honor of Black History Month-A reciting of prayers of African Americans throughout the years.

In times of slavery, after being brought over from the shores of Africa, there was much suffering; spirit, body and mind. Listen to how these prayers relay that, but they also relay hope, perseverance and triumph!

Meditative Scripture: Exodus 9:1
