[SOLVED] religion writing assignment 300-350 word

Need help with my History question – I’m studying for my class.

Below, I have listed five groups of videos (some of the videos I was able to embed, and others just have links). Pick two groups to focus on, and then pick one video from each of your chosen groups. For example, you can choose “The House of Mother Nature” from Group 1 and “New Orleans Voodoo Myth and Mystique” from Group 2, but you cannot pick two videos from the same group.

Then, please provide an analysis of what your two chosen texts reveal about the influence African Diaspora forms of spirituality have had on American culture at large.

Group 1: Santeria
