Using the music of Negro Spirituals to remind you of your options in life and choices you can make in your current situations.
The music of African Slaves was a tool of communication and expression of emotions that helped a people cope with adverse situations. Today the music can continue to be a tool to validate emotions and guidance to choose the next phase of our lives. However, we have to choose daily the actions we take. This program will guide the experience of reminding us that even if we do not actively choose an action, we have made a choice, albeit a passive choice. Being reminded of the option of taking an active role in life improves self-control and life's outcome. The music of slaves, called Negro Spirituals, continues to be a useful tool in today's environment to empower us to make decisions about our lives and have options to influence the outcome. Your guide through the process is Gwendolyn Smith, a retired Clinical Social Worker who is aware that some tools that worked in the past can help in our current situation. So, no need to re-invent the wheel but allow the music of slaves to benefit us today and understand some of the choices the slaves made in their situations. This program is brought to you in memory of
Mrs. Osceola Penix and the Rev. Frank and Etta Pearl Smith |
