Chief curator is Elizabeth Schaaf, archivist of the Peabody Institute. For 10 years, Schaaf has interviewed musicians and their families, collecting oral histories, photographs and cherished memorabilia. The exhibition, which includes vintage recordings and historic documents, covers well-known figures like Eubie Blake, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Anne Wiggins Brown, Ellis Larkins and Ethel Ennis and also documents scores of lesser known performers and ensembles who made significant contributions to the musical life of the country and to the struggle for civil rights.
