AAAMC Speaks: Portia Maultsby, The Renaissance Woman

The “AAAMC Speaks” documentary series is an educational resource that centers the legacy of the Black music community and highlights a wealth of materials available within Indiana University's Archives of African American Music and Culture. In each roughly 20-minute episode, AAAMC director Tyron Cooper interviews one pioneer, current industry professional or scholar whose work is connected to holdings at the archives. As “AAAMC Speaks” through this series, the collections come alive, and African American legacies are preserved.

The fourth episode features Dr. Portia Maultsby, Laura Boulton Professor Emerita of Ethnomusicology in IU’s Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, the founding director of the AAAMC, as well as founding director of the IU Soul Revue.
