- ELIZABETH COTTEN (1893-1987). ID: G-129. North Carolina Office of Archives & History: Department of Cultural Resources, Ncmarkers.com. “Libba” Cotten composed, recorded “Freight Train” (1958). Key figure, 1960s folk revival. Born and raised on Lloyd Street. Elizabeth Nevills Cotten taught the world “Freight Train,” “Shake Sugaree,” and a host of other songs. Her “parlor ragtime” style was no less elegant for the guitar being turned upside down and the thumb and finger roles being reversed.

- "This black female musician you may not know has written songs you probably do." Gabriella Abdul-Hakim, Goodmorningamerica.com. The twice-nominated folk musician, Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten won her first Grammy at 90 years old. Fiercely proud of her North Carolina roots, her lyrics and melodies weave intricate tales about her life in the South. A singer and songwriter, The Grateful Dead produced several renditions of "Oh, Babe, It Ain't No Lie," a song she composed. Bob Dylan covered other songs she created including "Shake Sugaree" and "Freight Train." Other famous acts including Joan Baez, Gary Clark Jr., Peter, Paul and Mary, and The Quarrymen, who evolved into The Beatles, also covered her songs. Cotten's music influenced many blues and folk artists. Although her songs often were co-opted by other musicians, she worked hard to reclaim her legacy.

- "Songs that bring history to life | Rhiannon Giddens." TED, Youtube [14:45] Rhiannon Giddens pours the emotional weight of American history into her music. Listen as she performs traditional folk ballads — including "Waterboy," "Up Above My Head," and "Lonesome Road" by Sister Rosetta Tharp — and one glorious original song, "Come Love Come," inspired by Civil War-era slave narratives. The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more. June 23, 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbeekjZP-CI

- "Tamara Lanier’s Fight to Reclaim Her History Could Be Any One of Ours." Vanessa K. De Luca, Medium.com. Imagine if you learned that photographs of your enslaved ancestors had been rediscovered in a museum at Harvard. Then imagine how you would feel if someone told you that you have no right to those photographs. Such is the plight of Tamara Lanier, who has taken on the Ivy League behemoth to secure the rights to the photos, which languished in a drawer out of sight and away from the public eye for years. The daguerreotypes depict women and men, breasts and genitalia exposed, their haunting stares a riveting testament to the degradation our ancestors endured during slavery’s shameful reign.

- "The 10 Most Infuriating Things People Have Said to Me as a Black Woman." Sondra Rose Marie, Medium.com. ‘Do you know how to read?’ In the time of coronavirus, I spend a lot of time sitting around with the friends in my quarantine circle trading stories about our lives before the pandemic. Recently, our conversation turned to the worst dates we’d ever been on, and as I relayed one of my dating failures, I shared a racially charged comment one suiter made on a first date.

- "Woman fights Harvard over rights to nude SC images of her enslaved ancestors." Jennifer Berry Hawes, Postandcourier.com. What on earth were these? Nothing in the drawer explained what they’d discovered. Only small, handwritten labels affixed to each offered clues: “Fassena (carpenter), Mandingo, plantation of Col. Wade Hampton, near Columbia, S.C.” “Jack (driver), Guinea, plantation of B.F. Taylor, Esq., Columbia, S.C.” “Jem, Gullah, belonging to F.W. Green, Esq.” One of the researchers rushed downstairs to summon their colleagues. The discovery sent Reichlin and others on a quest to solve the disturbing mystery. It continues today, 45 years later. But Harvard historians weren’t the only ones hunting for clues. In 2019, a woman named Tamara Lanier sued the university for possession of the daguerreotypes. Based on her own research, she claimed to be a descendant of two people captured in them.

- "GOP-Led States Still Mad About The 1619 Project, Considering Legislation to Dictate How Slavery Is Taught." Joe Jurado, Theroot.com. It’s Thursday, so you know what that means: Another round of Republicans being unwilling to face the fact that slavery was the horrific, violent foundation upon which this country was built. In several states with GOP leadership, legislation is being considered to ensure that the brutal reality of slavery isn’t taught in schools.
