Personal Narrative: Go Down, Moses

A Husky sound beautiful voice began singing the forbidden spiritual song at my slave cabin’s door, “Go down, Moses, ‘way down to Egypt Land”. Within that moment me, my family, and other slaves in that cabin knew immediately that Moses was here. Whispers grew as the singing continued “Get ready Moses is hear” and “Moses has returned”. Moses’ presence was now known spreading from cabin to cabin. But sadly we all knew she couldn’t take all of us but somehow my family managed to stay together as she picked on her party. Now with her presence known and her party of eleven me, my family, her brother, his wife, and five other brave slaves put ashcakes and salt herring in a old bandanna hastily and waited for her signal to fled the scene.
