Wade In The Water07:16
In this version of Wade In The Water, Pastor Dr. Carlotta made the song come alive with the sound of splashing water through the song. This song is associated with black churches and the Underground Railroad as a Freedom song. However, Harriett Tubman used “Wade in the Water” and other spirituals as a code to instruct enslaved escapees by telling slaves to hide under the water to avoid being captured.
