Secret codes. Daring escapes. Rescue missions. Bounty Hunters.
Lynchings. Betrayal. Sexual obsession. Conspiracy theories.
Cloak-and-dagger intrigue. Mysterious strangers who appear in the
midnight hour ... Courage beyond anything we could imagine,
demonstrated by the slaves of Africa who faced the darkness and
unknown terror with resilience and faith, and those brave
individuals and churches who defied the hunters to protect the
hunted. Some risked everything - their fortune, even their lives -
drawing out an intensity of Christian conviction rarely seen. And
the dangerous songs ... songs that passed on secret messages that
meant life and death for slaves about to escape, to outrun the
patrols, posses and gunmen who would be like hellhounds on their
trail. This gripping and compelling record reveals the perilous
exploits of America's runaway slaves, and an investigation into
their astounding music: Spirituals and Blues. Their music, born in
slavery and oppression, gave the world a beat that would change the
global musical landscape forever.
