Follow the Drinking Gourd: A Story of the Underground Railroad, Told by Morgan Freeman with Music by Taj Mahal



BLACK HISTORY MONTH
I HAD THE VHS TAPE AND NEEDED A DVD INSTEAD. THE KIDS ARE AMAZED WHEN THEY WATCH IT AND START TO SING THE SONG TOO.

Great!
My 6 year ols son watched this at least 100 times the first month he had it! What a well told, educational story. Buy it!

Compelling and Artistic!
As a music teacher, I teach this song. The accompaniment by Taj Mahal is wonderful and the artwork is fabulous. Even my 5th graders watch this without a peep. The story always makes me emotional every time I watch it. It is a good way to open discussion and learning about slavery in America.
