Field Notes File (Chronological Order) 1 South Georgia Folklife Project Master Field Notes File (chronological order) 1 FIELD NOTES MASTER FILE (by date) SOUTH GEORGIA FOLKLIFE PROJECT 1996-2005 LAURIE SOMMERS, PROJECT DIRECTOR AND PRIMARY FIELDWORKER (other fieldworkers indicated in subheadings of particular entry; if no indication, then fieldworker is Laurie Sommers) FIELD NOTES, SOUTH GEORGIA FOLKLIFE SURVEY DR. LAURIE SOMMERS, FIELDWORKER, 1996-97 Field Notes, Hahira Honeybee Festival, Hahira, GA Oct. 5, 1996 Drove up to the Honeybee Festival and arrived around 10:30. Purpose was to focus on arts and crafts show and see if there was anything of interest in the realm of traditional arts. One thing that surprised me was the lack of local honey at the festival. There were really only three booths of interest in this regard: 1) a woman from Griffin, GA had quite a large selection of honey 2) The Hahira Fruit and Vegetable Center had a selection of what appeared to be old canned goods and honey, mostly from companies elsewhere in the south (honey was from FL, for example) and a few old jars of put-up pear preserves which Bernice Craft (proprietress of Hahira) had made. She didn't seem very forthcoming about anything, local contacts, etc., and the man behind the counter said she was too old, used to do things, and didn't do them any more. 3) A booth by the GA. Beekeepers Assoc., with the national Honey Queen next to him (she is from Lancaster Co. PA this year and travels the circuit). There were flyers on beekeeping, several put out by Dadant, the parent co. in Illinois of which Hahira has a local branch office. Honey recipes, but no honey. Other items of interest: Frank's Jellies, Relish, and Hot Sauce, staffed by Franklin Harrell and his wife of Nashville. Frank Harrell, originally of Cairo, GA, makes jellies, relishes, and preserves, including a number from wild fruits and berries, back behind their house, using techniques he learned from his mother. Among the offerings: mayhaw, elderberry, blackberry, candied figs, strawberry. He said wild plum was popular but the fruit had all been lost in the freeze this past year. Got a card and will go visit. He is making up new batches all the time with frozen juice and fruit. Quilts: the Withlacoochee Quilters had a raffle quilt. I have a contact their already through Ann Smith at Trinity Presbyterian. They meet monthly. A black couple had a number of items for sale, including a few quilts. Evidently I can contact the maker through the man's sister at the Five Points Flea Market in Valdosta. Sister: Catherine Stewart. Quilter’s name is something like Mrs. Mauna Webb. 1 South Georgia Folklife Project Master Field Notes File (chronological order) 2 Auctioneers: Introduced myself to Tom Swilley of Heritage Auction Services in Hahira. He is doing an antiques and collectibles auction tonight as part of the Festival. Said he does about three a month; check Valdosta Daily Times on Fridays for notices. Auctioneers are increasingly specialized. He knows most of them around here, he says. Got his card and said I would call. Also of interest, his mentor Donald Patton of Zenith Auction in Lakeland. Latter does more farm equipt. and farm auctions. He didn't know the auctioneers for the livestock/horses in Quitman. Did say the tobacco auctioneers are specialized and come from out of state (NC). Stopped in at the Hahira Tobacco Sales Warehouse, full of tobacco sheets waiting to be shipped and bought. Chatted briefly with Melvin Parker, evidently a retired Head? of company, originally from NC, in business over 40 years. He was polite but didn't seem to have much use for me. Wouldn't let me take his picture with tobacco, and said if I was interested in history of company to talk not to him but to Jimmy Miley, current president. I commented on use of Mexican migrant labor. This is a seasonal business, lasting about 3 months. Parker said it was hard to get local help any more; they work through a local crew leader who gets help for them and works with other local farmers with migrant labor for fruits and vegetables as well. I then introduced myself to Jimmy Miley, who had been on phone and then had exchanged a few words in Spanish with one of the workers. He was more friendly, and open to my coming to sale Monday and/or Wed. am. about 9, recording and taking pictures. He is working with an auctioneer from TN and a ticket marker raised on a tobacco farm in Nashville now living in Savannah: Robin Muschamp. I also noticed on the wall tear-off adds for a company in Adel that remodels Tobacco barns. Melvin Parker told me the number of farms has greatly reduced and size of acreage has grown. Now there are 100-125 farms in S. GA/N. FL. October 7 and 8, 1996 Tobacco Sale at Hahira Tobacco Warehouse, Hahira, and Planter’s Warehouse, Nashville Jimmy Miley Hahira Tobacco Sales, Inc. PO Box 483 Hahira, GA 31632 warehouse-912-794-2450 h-912-794-2069 Robert E. Deatherage Box 704 North Davis St. Nashville, GA 31639 (Planter’s Warehouse) Jimmy Parker III Tobacco Auctioneer Rt. 4, Box 2685 Nashville, GA 31639 2 South Georgia Folklife Project Master Field Notes File (chronological order) 3 h-912-686-7153 shed-912-686-2532 LE Watson Planters Warehouse Rt1, Box 3520 Nashville, GA 31639 w-912-686-7586 Arrived at the Hahira Warehouse about 8:30, only to discover that the buyers and auctioneer (Rick Murphy from TN.) were at the Valdosta Warehouse first! So I waited around until all arrived at Hahira. The same group of buyers go to sales in Hahira, Valdosta, and Nashville. The warehouse is large, neat, and clean, with a strong pungent smell of tobacco. The tobacco was piled on burlap sheets and placed in rows throughout the warehouse. I photographed a placard in the wall which illustrated the proper way to tie sheets of tobacco. In the center of the warehouse was a small office from which Jimmy Miley ran operations (also a suite of business offices to the side of the warehouse with a door facing the street and parking lot). Near the small operations office was a conveyor belt of sorts for downloading tobacco from trucks. Sales are taking place all wee in the area, Monday through Thursday (no sales on Friday). This is near the end of the sales season, which will finish up by the middle to end of October and began in July. I arranged to meet with Jimmy Miley and show him the consent form, which proved useful. Board Chairman Melvin Parker in particular was concerned about the presence of a tape recorder and camera in the face of all the anti-tobacco efforts going on, but Miley understood the project and signed, making a copy for himself. Miley has been raised in the tobacco industry and even added a touch of authenticity by accidentally putting a cigarette burn hole on the consent form with his hand-rolled cigarette. Miley also introduced me to the buyers when they arrived and explained my interest in the history and culture of the area. A team of graders arrived ahead of the buyers, 3 men and one woman, who work for the government and use 10 different criteria to grade the tobacco. It is then priced according to grade. Graders are assigned to a particular market; I spoke with the woman, who was from Kentucky. When the buyers, auctioneer and ticket marker arrived (they had all been working the Valdosta sale), I followed them down the rows recording the sale and taking photos. It was later explained to me that this was an extraordinary year, since the hurricanes had destroyed much of the tobacco crop. Hence all tobacco, regardless of grade, was selling for $1.92 per pound. The usual bidding of the auction thus didn’t take place. The warehouseman (Jimmy Miley) led the sale, walking at the front of the row of buyers. The buyers used a system of hand signals to cue the sheets they wanted for purchase. Evidently, in an unusual year such as this, the warehouseman and the auctioneer figure out what percentage of the tobacco they want to go to each buyer, based on previous amounts bought in this particular market. A given buyer may represent more than one company, and selects a particular grade for purchase based on the market he his buying 3 South Georgia Folklife Project Master Field Notes File (chronological order) 4 for (oversees, domestic, etc.). The auctioneer and ticket marker were on the opposite side of the row. Periodically Miley would give the buyers an opportunity to review the sheets purchased, talk with their supervisors, etc. Rick Murphy, the auctioneer, works in the local market but is from Tennessee. I noticed that many folks involved in tobacco were from the heart of tobacco country such as Kentucky, NC, Tennessee, etc. I understood from Jimmy Miley that there are local auctioneers. He referred me to the ticket marker, Robin Muschamp, who comes from a tobacco farm family near Nashville and now lives in Savannah. She told me to come to the sale the next day in Nashville at her family warehouse, Planter’s, which would be run by her brother, LE Watson, and auctioned by one of the partners, Jimmy Parker, originally from NC, who now lives in Nashville. The sale broke for lunch. I got information on how to get to Planters the next day.

Some of Toshi’s proudest moments include playing for her godfather Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden, and performing with the Freedom Singers at the White House, in a tribute to the music of the civil rights movement. As a composer and producer, Toshi has created original scores for dance works, collaborated on two contemporary operas, served as producer on multiple albums, and has had her own work featured in films and TV soundtracks, including HBO and PBS programs.

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • A Building for All Seasons
    Fall/Winter 2019 Fall/WinterFall A Building for All Seasons ... From the WCAA Director Dear Westerners, e hope you are in the midst of a joyous and holiday season. We are wrapping up a busy and impactful year here at the WCAA. W I am pleased to report Alumnae Weekend was a huge success this year. We had a great time and it was great fun to hear all the memo- ries being shared and watch new friendships being made. I hope you plan to come back home next year. Please also be on the watch for alumnae events near you. We encourage you to contact the WCAA office to plan a get-together in your area. We will be happy to attend and to help with all the planning. Mackenzie The Board of Trustees met three times this year. Each was an incredibly productive meeting. At all of them — but especially the last meeting in October — the Board spent a lot of time preparing for the sunset of the WCAA Inc. in 2024. As most of you are probably attuned to by now, I love quotes. Shortly after the last meeting, I saw this from an unknown author: A bird sitting in a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not in the branch, but in its wings. It struck me as a powerful metaphor for what the Board is so faithfully doing. Our branch, the WCAA Inc. itself, will be changing form in 2024. Rightfully so, the Board spends their time not worrying about the branch, as the decision to close down was made years ago.

  • The Sounds of Liberation: Resistance, Cultural Retention, and Progressive Traditions for Social Justice in African American Music
    THE SOUNDS OF LIBERATION: RESISTANCE, CULTURAL RETENTION, AND PROGRESSIVE TRADITIONS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Professional Studies by Luqman Muhammad Abdullah May 2009 © 2009 Luqman Muhammad Abdullah ABSTRACT The cultural production of music in the Black community has traditionally operated as much more than a source of entertainment. In fact, my thesis illustrates how progressive traditions for social justice in Black music have acted as a source of agency and a tool for resistance against oppression. This study also explains how the music of African Americans has served as a primary mechanism for disseminating their cultural legacy. I have selected four Black artists who exhibit the aforementioned principles in their musical production. Bernice Johnson Reagon, John Coltrane, Curtis Mayfield and Gil Scott-Heron comprise the talented cadre of musicians that exemplify the progressive Black musical tradition for social justice in their respective genres of gospel, jazz, soul and spoken word. The methods utilized for my study include a socio-historical account of the origins of Black music, an overview of the artists’ careers, and a lyrical analysis of selected songs created by each of the artists. This study will contribute to the body of literature surrounding the progressive roles, functions and utilities of African American music. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH My mother garners the nickname “gypsy” from her siblings due to the fact that she is always moving and relocating to new and different places.

  • Women in the Modern Civil Rights Movement

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth Within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present)
    THE DISCOURSE OF THE DIVINE: RADICAL TRADITIONS OF BLACK FEMINISM, MUSICKING, AND MYTH WITHIN THE BLACK PUBLIC SPHERE (CIVIL RIGHTS TO THE PRESENT) by Issac Martel Carter A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2015 Copyright 2015 by Issac Martel Carter ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express sincere gratitude to my family and friends, my committee, and the Orisha, griots, and ancestors who have guided me throughout this life. I am blessed and highly favored. iv ABSTRACT Author: Issac Martel Carter Title: The Discourse of the Divine: Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present) Institution: Florida Atlantic University Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Derrick White Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Year: 2015 The Discourse of the Divine: Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present) is an exploration of the historical precursors and the contemporary developments of Black feminism in America, via Black female musical production and West and Central African cosmology. Historical continuity and consciousness of African spirituality within the development of Black feminism are analyzed alongside the musical practices of two Black female musicians, Nina Simone and Me’shell Ndegéocello. Simone and Ndegéocello, The High Priestess of Soul and the Mother of Neo-Soul, respectively, distend the commodified confines of Black music and identity by challenging the established norms of music and knowledge production.
