The staff and Board of Directors of The Humanities CouncilSC believe that the voices and stories of every South Carolinian represent a precious resource from which to learn important lessons about who we are, where we have come from, and also to guide us as we shape our future. The Council’s sponsored programs, exhibits, and documentaries present a detailed, inclusive story about the people of South Carolina. 2 PHOTO BY LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Greetings from The Humanities CouncilSC! Bill Edmonds What a pleasure it is to be the bearer of glad tidings related to humanities programs in South Carolina! This year we are marking the 40th Anniversary of The Humanities CouncilSC, and there is a lot to celebrate as we consider the growth of projects, programs, and support for the humanities in South Carolina. Even in these times of economic challenges, Congress has recognized the value of what state humanities councils do. Money spent for humanities programs produces a sound return on investment. National seed money attracts additional funding from corporate sponsors, institutions of higher education, and people all over the state who understand the value of the humanities for enriching life experiences, engaging people in conversations about ideas that matter, and inspiring inquiry and collaboration around a variety of topics and themes. four decades, THCsc has played an active and important The major work of The Humanities CouncilSC is to award role in South Carolina’s cultural infrastructure.

INTRODUCTION The collections of the Austin History Center contain valuable materials about Austin’s African American communities, although there is much that remains to be documented. The materials in this bibliography are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This bibliography is one in a series of updates of the original 1979 bibliography. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals and support groups. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the online computer catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing collection holdings by author, title, and subject. These entries, although indexing ended in the 1990s, lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be time-consuming to find and could be easily overlooked.

During this time, songs like "Dancing in the Street" and "What's Going On?" targeted social issues in America and created a voice for African-American people through their messages. Events like the Mississippi Freedom Summer and Bloody Thursday inspired the artists at Motown to create these songs. Influenced by the cultural and social circumstances of the Civil Rights Movement, the musical output of Motown Records between 1959 and 1972 evolved from a sole focus on entertainment in popular culture to a focus on motivating social change through music.
  • Recreating the Ensemble Dynamic of Motown's Funk Brothers

    Recreating the Ensemble Dynamic of Motown's Funk Brothers

    6 Unsung Heroes: Recreating the Ensemble Dynamic of Motown’s Funk Brothers Vincent Perry Introduction By the early 1960s, the genre known as soul had become the most commercially successful of all the crossover styles. Drawing on musical influences from the genres of gospel, jazz and blues, ‘soul’s success was as much due to a number of labels, so-called “house sounds”, and little- known bands, as it was to specific performers or songwriters’ (Borthwick and Moy, 2004, p. 5). Following on from the pioneer releases of Ray Charles and Sam Cooke, a Detroit-based independent label would soon become the ‘most successful and high profile of all the soul labels’ (Borthwick and Moy, 2004, p. 5). Throughout the early 1960s, Berry Gordy’s Tamla Motown dominated the domestic US pop and R&B charts with its assembly-line approach to music production (Moorefield, 2005, p. 21), which resulted in a distinctive sound that was shared by all the label’s artists. However, in 1963, the company ‘achieved its international breakthrough’ shortly after signing a landmark distribution deal with EMI in the UK (Borthwick and Moy, 2004, p. 5). Gordy’s headquarters—a seemingly humble, suburban 95 POPULAR MUSIC, STARS AND STARDOM residence—was ambitiously named Hitsville USA and, throughout the 1960s, it became a hub for pop record success. Emerson (2005, p. 194) acknowledged Motown’s industry presence when he noted: Motown was muscling in on the market for dance music. Streamlined, turbo-charged singles by the Marvelettes, Martha and the Vandellas, and the Supremes rolled off the Detroit assembly line … Berry Gordy’s ‘Sound of Young America’ challenged the Brill Building, 1650 Broadway, and 711 Fifth Avenue as severely as the British Invasion because it proved that black artists did not need white writers to reach a broad pop audience.
