The Preacher and the Bear
*Content Advisory: This track contains derogatory language in the title and the lyrics. The term "coon" was circulated and popularized through blackface minstrelsy and used by an American society steeped in white supremacist values, especially during the Jim Crow era, to unjustly describe and identify Black people.
We encourage the listener to learn more from the Jim Crow Museum.
