Nothing but Love in God's Water: Black Sacred Music from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement

Baylor Professor Robert Darden co-founded the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project, the world's largest initiative to identify, acquire, catalogue, preserve, and make accessible gospel music's fast-vanishing vinyl legacy. With nearly 8,500 “sides” digitized to date, the collection will be featured in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. Darden will discuss the history of gospel music and play samples for Black History Month. Robert Darden is an associate professor at Baylor University. He is the author of two dozen books and numerous articles. His most recent work, Nothing But Love in God's Water, was released in October 2014.
