@AndrewKagumba @martinssempa "We Shall Not Be Moved" a slave-era Spiritual based on Jeremiah 17:8 sung during the Civil Rights movement is an example.
"We're fighting for our freedom, We shall not be moved, Just like a tree that's planted by the water..."

1. As a pastor, I am glad @HEBobiwine is now singing Balokole Revival song "Olutalo Nga luwedde", my problem is how he is changing the meaning/message of the song. What is the impact of turning a gospel worship song into a political party song?

@martinssempa “Steal away to Jesus” & “Go down, Moses," used by Harriet Tubman to identify herself to slaves who wanted to flee north. While the primary function of the songs was religious, the same also served as socio-political protests veiled as assimilation to the white American culture.
