Listen to America’s music and hear the story of freedom. It’s the story of people in a New World, places they have left behind, and ideas they have brought with them. It is the story of people who were already here, but whose world is remade. The distinct cultural identities of all of these people are carried in song—both sacred and secular. Their music tracks the unique history of many peoples reshaping each other into one incredibly diverse and complex people—Americans. Their music is the roots of American music.

As a companion exhibit, the Green McAdoo Cultural Organization, with funding from the Humanities Tennessee Council, will feature an exhibit entitled, A Gathering at the Clinch, Transition and Tradition of Music in Anderson County.
