2023 Summer Interns: Reflections and Research Guides

This episode looks back at the recent work of Joseph Z. Johnson and Deena Owens, interns who created research guides on African American Banjo Playing and on Sacred Harp singing for the American Folklife Center. The interns talked about their work and shared a few of their favorite field recordings from our collections.

More information on the songs as well as photos of some the singers and links to all the archival sources, can be found at http://blogs.loc.gov/folklife.
