One song that has stood out to me throughout this course is "Roll Jordan Roll" Topsy Chapman. I found this song through our course and I like the community aspects within the song. I also like how the Jordan River refers to the river in the Bible that the Israelites crossed to reach the Promised Land. While it also symbolizes moving forward in life. This song has a strong connection to what we've been studying because it represents enslaved African Americans, the Jordan River came to symbolize freedom, salvation, and deliverance from suffering.
