Howard Thurman on the Valley and the Spirituals - Black Church (Psalm 23)

Source: Howard Thurman59 words

"The enslaved sang Psalm 23 in the cotton fields: 'The Lord is my shepherd.' In the valley of the shadow of slavery, they declared a Shepherd who led to freedom. 'I will fear no evil'—not master, not whip, not death. The Shepherd walks with the oppressed through every valley." — Howard Thurman. Psalm 23 as survival and liberation song.
