Nothing explains our hunger for learning more about our ancestors better than author Alex Haley:
"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage, to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness."

Some come gather round, and we'll set a spell and listen to some good ol' gospel music from the hills!
Come set right here next to me, I've saved ya a spot on the pew. We'll set right here and tap our toes, clap our hands, and shout hallelujah and praise the Lord!
I'd like to invite ya'all to come along with me, as we head on over to our little country church. We're gonna have a little preaching, and a lot of singing. About 1:00 we'll take a break for some dinner the good church ladies have made. We've got it all set up in the orchard on some plank tables. Bring your quilt so you can set yourself down and enjoy your dinner.
When your done eating, we're gonna have some singing outdoors! So, you might want to bring along your lawn chair to get a bit more comfortable.
We'll grab us some sweet tea, do a little toe tapping, hand clapping, and if the Spirit moves, we might even do a little jigging and jagging!
So, sit right down, I saved you a spot on the pew next to me!
