About this Reading Room | American Folklife Center | Research Centers | Library of Congress

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The American Folklife Center (AFC) documents and shares the many expressions
of human experience to inspire, revitalize, and perpetuate living cultural
traditions. Designated by the U.S. Congress as the national center for folklife
documentation and research, the Center meets its mission by stewarding archival
collections, creating public programs, and exchanging knowledge and expertise.
The Center’s vision is to encourage diversity of expression and foster community
participation in the collective creation of cultural memory.
Since 1976—when Congress passed the American Folklife Preservation Act
(Public Law 94-201) and President Ford signed it into law—the American Folklife
Center has fulfilled its charge to “preserve and present” folklife in all its
diversity. Over the years the Center’s staff have coordinated and conducted large
scale fieldwork projects, produced rich public programs onsite and online, supported
training for researchers and fieldworkers, provided robust reference services, and,
built a significant multiformat archive that holds cultural documentation of lived
human experience and meaning-making from around the world.

Hazel Scott - "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" meets jazz!

Hazel Scott was a musical genius. She attended Juilliard when she was just 8 years old and was a popular jazz musician in the 1930s and 1940s. In the 1950s, she became the first Black American to have her own TV show! However, she left the US after she was called to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. I first learned about her in Nate DiMeo's podcast, The Memory Palace. (It's a good episode if you want to listen!)
