I am also grateful to my department, Rackham, the Institute, and the UM Sweetland Writing Center for supporting my work through various travel, research, and writing grants. This additional support financed much of the archival research for this project, provided for several national and international conference presentations, and allowed me to participate in the 2015 Rackham/Sweetland Writing Center Summer Dissertation Writing Institute. I also remain indebted to all those who helped me reach this point, including my supervisors at the Hatcher Graduate Library, the Music Library, the Children’s Center, and the Music of the United States of America Critical Edition Series. I thank them for their patience, assistance, and support at a critical moment in my graduate career.

  • Stephen Tyson
    stephenjtyson.com Biography Stephen J. Tyson was born and raised in New York City. He graduated from the High School of Music & Art, attended the Art Students League of New York, the Rhode Island School of Design, earned his BFA from Manhattanville College, and his MFA from the City College of New York. He was tenured as an art teacher with the New York City Board of Education and as an associate professor of studio art and art history at the University of Pittsburgh in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He has been a fine arts faculty member at Siena College, SUNY-Albany, Union College, SUNY-Adirondack, and he is currently an Instructor of Fine Arts at Schenectady County Community College. In 1988 and 1995, he was awarded Fulbright-Hays Fellowships to study in Nigeria and in Namibia and Botswana, respectively. Those experiences further inspired his interest in pattern design—evident in a series of paintings and drawings he has continued to produce since 1994. He has also drawn inspiration from the field of cellular biology, astronomy, illuminated manuscripts, Australian Aboriginal art, the mural designs of the Kassena in West Africa, digital photography, and music. His illustrations have been featured in science-related publications. His work has been featured at venues such as the New York State Museum, the Schenectady Museum (now miSci), the National Black Fine Art Show (NBFAS) in New York City. His work is part of the collection of the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Schenectady Museum (miSci), Hudson Valley Community College, Siena College, and numerous private collections.
