This exploration of the unacknowledged labor of wrongfully convicted Black people who died building western North Carolina's Swannanoa Tunnel is both reckoning and requiem. Hear James William Love sing: "Somebody died. Somebody’s dead." #soundingspirit bittersoutherner.com/2020/somebody-…

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the inaugural Sounding Spirit digital library, featuring 22 songbooks and hymnals representing the variety of vernacular southern sacred song published from 1850 to 1925. You can browse these books at: library.soundingspirit.org.

The work continues! Project team members at @EmoryCDS working from home in Decatur, Georgia, and Mars Hill, North Carolina, met recently with @center4popmusic's Rachel Morris. Do our post-processed scans match the songbooks Rachel's team digitized? #soundingspirit #remotework

THE LONE PILGRIM offers 19th-century social distancing insights. Pictured here from the Original Sacred Harp (1911), this John Ellis text invites us to meet "the contagion" – but not one another. #soundingspirit #washyourhands #lonebutnotalone
