The works purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York include "Swing Lo Sweet Chariot", "All God's Children Got Shoes" and the "Gospel Train". Ruth Starr Rose was noted for her interpretations of African American spirituals. She did this through interviews and life experiences. "You can't dramatize the feelings of a people that have come out of great suffering unless you share their ideals. I believe it was religion that brought black Americans through their suffering. If I can only convey to white people this sense that the power of God is really present here for us, people of all colors, then I'll feel my mission is accomplished." this is taken from the Christian Science Monitor of Boston January 24, 1955
