Dr. Arthur Jones visits a Boys and Girls Club to pass on the tradition of spirituals.
"The ancestors passed these songs to us. These are songs that are gifts to us today.

As part of a Smithsonian Institution program, he visited a Boys and Girls Club, where he taught spirituals to children who may never have heard them.
