This watershed release represents the life's work of William Ferris, an audio recordist, filmmaker, folklorist, and teacher with an unwavering commitment to establish and to expand the study of the American South.
William Ferris was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1942. Growing up on a working farm, Ferris began at a young age documenting the artwork, music, and lives of the people on the farm and in his local community. The archive of recordings that he created and the documentary films that he had a hand in producing have served as powerful tools in institutions of higher learning for decades and have furthered the understanding of Southern culture.
This signed box set includes:
Book edited by William Ferris (Writings by Scott Barretta, David Evans and Tom Rankin)
Two CDs featuring Blues and Gospel recordings
One CD featuring Interviews and Storytelling
One DVD featuring Documentary Films
Donated By Dr. William R. Ferris, Jr. (Sigma-Davidson '61)
