Reviews: 

“A week ago, my friends Andre & Mahoganee, a soulful power couple, sent me ‘1619’ and asked for my thoughts about it. 
I’ve yet to find adequate words to express its profundity and pride that ‘1619’ has stirred inside me for a week straight.  
This is more than a song; it’s a serenade...to our ancestors... a soliloquy of silenced, lost souls & serenity finally found in ...a Psalm of freedom.  
‘1619’ is haunting yet hopeful, lyrically and sonically the sound of black souls singing, àse.”🤛🏿

Teachers, there are so many lessons that can be taught from this song.   
It speaks to the TRANSITIONS we’ve gone thru as a people & how slavery interrupted our sovereignty.  But it also speaks to our eminent & enduring VICTORY.  Listen carefully to the words.  Thx Baba Kazemde Ajamu for introducing me to this wonderful couple!
