Funny that Wallis Willis' song should come up on a day when our newspaper is
running an article about descendants of freedmen losing benefits associated
with being part of the Cherokee nation. Willis was a freedman from Chocktaw
slavery.
Surely if Americans can take "Amazing Grace" to heart, Brits are allowed to
have a run at "Swing Low"? All's fair in love, war and singing. (I'll draw
the line at karaoke, which should have been stifled at birth).
