Afterword – Notes (Partial)

(1) How You Can Help

As a start, I hope educators and parents will use the materials in this site to teach their students and children the real Drinking Gourd story.

For those that would like to take a more active role, I would welcome help sourcing unusual recordings of the song, genealogical assistance (especially in the Charlotte, North Carolina area), anti-slavery society primary research (especially in Illinois), help preparing teachers' plans, etc. If you would like to assist, please be in touch and let me know about your particular interests.
