"Swing Low Sweet Chariot", lyrics were penned by Wallace (also spelt as Wallis) Willis, who was once an African American slave of a Choctaw Indian
The African American Registry celebrates 21st December 1840, as the day of
the writing of the African-American spiritual song, "Swing Low Sweet
Chariot", affectionately called, "Uncle Wallace.''

He was inspired to write this hymn while at his current residence, near Oklahoma City. The story goes that, one day while tilling the cotton field a Choctaw boarding school, Spencer Academy, he looked over and began to gaze at the Red River, which was flowing in the distance. The sight moved him so much, that he expressed his feelings with this spiritual folk song. It was a missionary who then brought this hymn to the East. It was composed in a Cappella and is still popularly sung at rugby matches by
supporters of the English team.
