Singing and soaring

June 13th, 2012

We met with Rutha Harris, who was one of the freedom singers–very powerful. Music was critical with the movement for several reasons, but for me, it appeared that music served as cadence for the marchers, to help them ease their mind while pursuing their prized freedom. As for those who know me, I don’t move well when singing, even if we clap during our worship, yet, I found myself clapping and moving, because I felt the movement of the Spirit.
While at Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, I felt that as much as the Tuskegee Airmen were placed into a near impossible position, yet they soared, proving that they were capable, were not deficient in intellect as had been stated in a war dept letter in 1925, and rose to the calling of their country, even surpassing other caucasion units!
