1.The significance of Du Bois calls to the “sorrow songs” to African-American history and culture is the African-Americans express their happiness, sadness, and fear while struggling in their day to day basis in the field during the slavery era. In the reading, Du Bois states,” I have said the slave spoke to the world.” which I agree with because they’re were surrounded by earth nature, so they’ll able to compare or have similarities to their lives. With the sorrows songs, they had hope and faith to have freedom one these days while working in the fields, but years go by, the songs the African-Americans sang from the bottom of their hearts neglected and forgotten.

2.  the song that I think significant in my opinion is “My way is cloudy” by Dinwiddie colored quartet because the slave believe God would help them bring down the angels to yearned to be set free physically and spiritually and have freedom
