In this episode, Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul taps back in with season 2 guest - Dr. Claudrena Harold, Chair of UVA's Corcoran Department of History to discuss her new book When Sunday Comes. Harold's book details the creative shifts, sonic innovations, theological tensions, and political assertions that transformed gospel music. This episode is inspiring and filled with great insight as the two historians dive into Gospel music as a vehicle for liberation and the message of redemption for Black people. They also weave into the impacts of Gospel music on hip-hop, R&B, Soul and African American life in general. If you want to hear an inspirational message which delves into the "souls of Black folk" and how we have overcome hardships and challenges through a unique outlook through the lens of freedom - this is not a show you want to miss. You will want to hang onto every word! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leadingbyhistory/support
