His Truth Is Marching On

In my Christian upbringing, from which I’m still recovering, I sang for our small, all white, mostly out-of-tune church choir. 🎵 The Battle Hymn of the Republic was always my favorite song to sing. We only sang it once a year. It was one of the few performances that would earn applause from the quiet, conservative, white audience in the pews. I never knew its history until reading this piece.

Fascinating, devastating, hopeful, and heartbreaking.
