The statement is True.

Spirituals are indeed a form of song that typically have a strophic structure, meaning they consist of multiple verses with the same melody. These songs are rooted in the African American religious experience, often conveying themes of faith, hope, and resilience. Spirituals were originally sung by enslaved people in the United States and were influenced by both African musical traditions and Christian hymns. The folk or popular tunes associated with spirituals often made them more accessible to the community, allowing for collective singing during worship or communal gatherings. This blending of musical traditions highlights the adaptability and cultural significance of spirituals in expressing religious sentiments.
