The Not So Welcome Table

The spiritual, “Sit at the Welcome Table,” was a double entendre. When slaves, who were unwelcome at their masters’ tables, sang about the “welcome table,” they were singing about someday sitting down together at the table with and being welcomed by those who had once been their oppressors, as well as singing about a time when they would sit at the table at the marriage feast of the Lamb spoken of in the New Testament book of Revelation.
