The Sea Islands of Georgia and South Carolina are the source of the largest body of Negro spirituals. Though originating in a remote, impoverished area, this musical heritage had an enormous influence on 20th century gospel, jazz and popular music. The spirituals of the Gullah Geechee people are particularly significant because of their deep connection to West African heritage. From 1867–1966, scholars routinely visited Gullah Geechee islands to examine and record the strong West African retentions in this American folk music, producing five major studies encompassing over 600 transcriptions of spirituals. Despite the important contributions of the Gullah Geechee people to American music, accessing consistent, high-quality recordings or documentation of their music remains difficult, and their music and its historical significance is not widely appreciated. With the instructors, OLLI members will explore digital archives that they can continue to explore long after the session.

On November 3, all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 in the Senate will be up for re-election. Hundreds of local and state offices and issues will be settled. Turn-out in POTUS elections is around 60%. Mid-terms? Barely 40%! This mid-term may be more consequential than any recent election. So, let's dig into all the national issues, looking at how they rank—by party, affiliation, generation and region. We'll look at some of the better forecasts of results and we'll conduct our own on-line, in-class polls of issues/results. YES, we will forecast the House-Senate results by party!
