The Great Migration - Canvas

Song of the Great Migration

Deep in the night we traveled down
On a journey so vast, unknown
Gathering our courage, precious few

We sailed out to make our new home
Greeting a world new and strange
Our faith in God above saw us through

This migration, so great and brave
Now we stand, a mighty force
Axa (AI), 18th century African American slave, fought for her freedom, just as we do
The courage of the ancients was strong too

AI Axta, 18th century African American slave
