Inspired by the example set by the United Parish in Brookline, MA, the Wellington Worship Committee has made a commitment to “pay royalties” each time we sing a Negro Spiritual in worship to honor the legacy of enslaved African Americans. Unlike other hymns and worship music, Negro Spirituals were not published until after the names of their creators were long forgotten, if they were ever even known. We will pay royalties by making a donation to organizations that support the development of young Black, Chicago-area musicians. To read more, click here.
