Current development on this multimedia website is supported by the Center for Teaching & Learning at the University of Denver. In addition to outlining various cultural and historical influences of the spirituals, this site also includes selected samples of interviews conducted with performing artists, community workers and composers around the country who have shared The Spirituals Project’s mission of keeping the spirituals tradition alive in the twenty-first century. The oral history project has been supported by the LEF Foundation and the Union Institute and University.
