The Humanities Pod | History Wrapped Up In Song: “Singing Freedom” with Tsitsi Jaji, Lucy Fitz Gibbon, and Ed Baptist

'Soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon, poet and associate professor of English at Duke University Tsitsi Jaji, and Cornell professor of history Ed Baptist, talk with Annette Richards about ’Singing Freedom,’ a multi-layered collaboration with leading Black American composers and performers to create musical responses to materials in the Freedom on the Move archive. They talk about how music might give voice to those self-liberators and their stories, exploring ways the creative arts might grapple with racism in the past and present across literary and musical genres.'
