"...the sequence is repeated to evoke the grand progenitor of all American music, the call and response of a Negro spiritual, hearkening back to our nation's great unhealing wound, slavery itself."

Slavery in and of itself, the act of slavery, rather than discussion of, say, wage slaves or other such events also called "slavery" with a qualifier.

The "itself" is in fact necessary to ensure comprehension within the desired context.

Saying 'itself' doesn't ensure comprehension at all. You could still be implying "(wage) slavery itself", depending on the context. My point is that it doesn't add anything except more words. If they were trying to show the common people the deeper meaning behind 'Friday', they should use language like it is commonly used. When you're talking about America's past and black people, the word slavery has a pretty specific meaning in practical usage.

The last word of a sentence is an important one, it gets a lot of focus. I think it just sounds better followed by the itself regardless of any considerations about meaning. If I were to drop the itself I'd probably word it like this:

". . .hearkening back to slavery, our nation's great unhealing wound."

Otherwise the clauses seem kind of unbalanced.
