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-…

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
