[Notes]
Michel LaRue's Songs of the American Negro Slaves was released back in 1960, the same year in which four black college students protested racial segregation by waiting for service at a "white-only" lunch counter. Despite its age, this album remains an important and relevant document. As the development of the United States and the history of slavery are inexorably intertwined, and as race continues to be one of the most critical issues facing the nation, this album is for all Americans, whatever their ethnicity. -- AllMusic Review by John Vallier
