Africans who became victims of the slave trade were unaware their passionate celebration of music would one day be written down and published for people around the world to sing and appreciate. Notes have been changed and rhythms have been altered, but Negro spirituals have maintained their unique style and spirit throughout the years. In this book, Ann Lee-Thompson tells her version of the origin of Negro spirituals, and how Africans brought music to America from their homeland. She sheds light on the creation of the music, using original melodic and rhythmic patterns and Bible stories, resulting in a unique art form that expressed the trials and hardships of slavery. Lee-Thompson maintains that Negro spirituals are the harbinger of all African-American music, which continues to evolve from Negro spirituals.

VERY comfortable & cute sandal!
Size: 9, Color: Cognac
I needed a pair of comfortable sandals for this summer & I really got lucky with these. I have a lot of arthritis in my feet & even my $100(+) tennis shoes don’t keep the pain away. I may start with tennis shoes at the beginning of the day but 1/2 way through I slip on the Hey Dudes & all is much better! These sandals are versatile, I have worn them with jeans & shorts. They would also look nice with a skirt. They are cute & comfortable! Not only are they lightweight, it feels like you are walking on air because the sole is so cushioned. One thing I do want to mention is the fact there is A LOT of room given toward the front of the shoe. The strap that goes over the ball of your foot is looser than I am used to, even with wide feet. You aren’t able to make adjustments. When I first put them on I didn’t think I would like it but after wearing them every day for the past month I know I do. I would recommend these sandals & wonder if I should stock up in case they stop making this style??

Cushy softness
Size: 8, Color: Ivory
I’m normally a 7W and originally ordered the 7 and it was almost a perfect fit if not for my high instep. Exchanged for an 8 and they fit great just a little loose in the toe strap but I can make it work.

Ripping with minimal wear.
Size: 8, Color: Black/Black, Size: 8, Color: Black/Black
I really wanted to love these. This is my first pair of HeyDudes, and I am pretty disappointed. I don't have wide feet. They fit perfectly, and were super comfortable. But they are already ripping and I haven't even worn them 5 times. I didn't even wear them long or walk a lot in them.
