The literature of a region is a reflection of its customs, beliefs, and in case of the African American literature, the vernacular literature in the form of the songs of the church, the prayers, the sermons, the emerging hip-hops, the jazz, and many more, that were a part of the vernacular tradition, are a reflection of the oral traditions practiced by the societies. The oral tradition was primarily divided into two categories, the Sacred Tradition and the Secular Tradition. From the Sacred Tradition this assignment discusses the song ‘A City Called Heaven’ from the Spirituals and the Work Song ‘Pick a Bale of Cotton’ from the Secular Tradition.
