What is another word for negro spiritual?

Pronunciation: [nˈiːɡɹə͡ʊ spˈɪɹɪt͡ʃˌuːə͡l] (IPA)

The term "negro spiritual" can be problematic, as it has historically been used to diminish the complex history and cultural significance of these songs. Thus, many prefer to use alternative terms such as "African American spirituals," "slave songs," or "gospel music." These terms more accurately reflect the origins and diversity of these songs, which were created by enslaved Africans and African Americans in the United States, often as a means of coping with exploitation and oppression. Despite their origins in suffering, these songs have also been powerful symbols of resistance and hope, and they continue to be an important part of African American cultural heritage.
