Thanks for the wonderful link: https://blogs.loc.gov/folklife/2018/02/kumbaya-history-of-an-old-song/ .I appreciate the justifiable frustration, and yet I do not understand why it is worse for quite likely intentionally miseducated/ never-educated(?) Black USA residents from 1619 to present to be found "USING" Kum Ba(H) Ya(H) in any way. Please say more about your comment..."Black folk don't have a damned clue...--even though we should!" The song may have been front of mind at church on Sunday, but in my family in Alabama from 1912 to present day, if taken outat all, it's always packed away with the rest of the Sunday' clothes to focus on surviving the other six days.
