I haven't checked out the music-links yet, but hopefully I will have time to do it later on.<BR/><BR/>I am very interested in American history and what you write about here is not something I have really thought about before. Thanks for taking the time to write and research all that for us.<BR/><BR/>We have the Danish equivalent to the Bush-administration ruling Denmark these years and what you wrote about the arts and making cuts in fundings etc. could have been written by me. In Denmark there is so much talk about how "people don't want to be told what is good taste and what is bad taste any longer by those academic and educated types from universities and left-wing newspapers no more", so these days arts are getting the cuts big times, museums must close or cut down a lot etc etc. Okay, I could go on about this, but I better stop here ;o)<BR/><BR/>Great post!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-86093078183585164672009-01-27T09:16:00.000-04:002009-01-27T09:16:00.000-04:00Thought provoking piece, Julia.

Made me wonder whether the next book we're reading in my neighborhood book club (first session was the day of the inauguration!),'The Book of Negroes' by Lawrence Hill, will have references to spirituals. Mr.Hill was one of four prominent Canadians asked to comment on the content of the inaugural address the the newspaper edition the day after, so I'm now way down the list of people waiting to get it from the library...M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.com
