The academic trajectory of John Wesley Work III is inspiring, to say the least.
The breakdown:
1923, receives Bachelor of Arts from Fisk University
1923 attends Institute of Musical Art in New York (now known as Julliard)
1927 begins teaching at Fisk
1930 receives a Master’s of Arts degree with his thesis, American Negro Songs and Spirituals
1930 awarded two Julius Rosenwald Foundation Fellowships for 1931-1933
1933 receives a Bachelor of Music degree from Yale University
1933 - 1966 served at Fisk University as a teacher, chairman of the Department of Music
1941 - 1942 collaborated with colleagues, Sociology department head Charles S. Johnson and professor of Sociology, Lewis Jones, to collaborate with the Archive of American Folk Song for a 2 year field study in the Mississippi Delta region along with Alan Lomax
1947 - 1956 served as director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers
And that isn't the half.
So, there are a few links to the right that tell more of the story....
Oh and the word of the day is....
'vituperative' meaning containing or characterized by verbal abuse.
dang.
