The book is a result of Jackson's extensive research and documentation of the musical heritage of the African American community and other marginalized groups in America. The book contains over 100 songs, each with its own unique story and history. The songs are arranged by theme, with sections dedicated to songs about slavery, freedom, and the Civil War. The book also includes detailed information about the origins and evolution of spiritual folk-songs, as well as the cultural and historical context in which they were created. Jackson provides extensive notes and commentary on each song, offering insights into the meanings and symbolism behind the lyrics and music.
