From the first records issued in the 1920s to contemporary sounds by B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf, the Delta has produced an uninterrupted musical tradition which is still sung by little-known Delta performers." From the professional library of Dr. Philip D. Morgan, a professor of History at Johns Hopkins University. Morgan specializes in the African-American experience, the history of slavery, the early Caribbean, and the study of the early Atlantic world. Morgan is the author of more than 14 books on Colonial America and African American history. He has won both the Bancroft Prize and the Frederick Douglass Prize for his book Slave Counterpoint: Black Culture in the Eighteenth-Century Chesapeake and Lowcountry (1998).
