Robert E. Barton Allen was born June 1, 1904, in Rochester, Indiana. He was a graduate of DePauw University (A.B. 1926) and University of Illinois (A.M. 1931, Ph.D. 1943). His dissertation examined the nature and dissemination of fairy tales. From 1937 to 1941, Allen taught English and served as director of Indiana University Radio Programs. During this period, he co-founded the Hoosier Folklore Society with Paul G. Brewster and served as its first president. After leaving Indiana, Allen taught speech and served as assistant to the president of Carleton College (1941-43). He later took a position at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque teaching speech and English (1944-53). In the early 1950s, Allen compiled A New Mexico Place Names Dictionary for the National Association of Broadcasters to help newspapermen and radio announcers pronounce place names correctly. Throughout his career, he gave numerous lectures and wrote articles concerning the production of radio broadcasts. Allen died in December 1982 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Harry Behn

Harry Behn was born September 24, 1898, in Yavapai County, Arizona. He graduated from Harvard University with an S.B. in 1922. He worked as a scenario writer for motion pictures and was chiefly associated with King Vidor's films. Behn taught writing at the University of Arizona from 1938 to 1947 and founded the University of Arizona Press in 1960. He published his first book of poetry, Siesta, in 1931, and, at the urging of his children, began writing children's books. In 1949, he published The Little Hill, a book of poetry for children. Behn wrote and translated poetry for children, especially haiku, and drew on the poetic heritage of Robert Louis Stevenson in his use of the "child's voice," as well as on what critics called "a thread of transcendentalism." He also wrote fiction for older children and young adults, including The Faraway Lurs (1963). Behn illustrated many of his works and received several graphic arts- awards for his artwork. He died on September 6, 1973.

John Henry Faulk was born in Austin, Texas, on August 21, 1913. He entered the University of Texas in 1932. Under the guidance of J. Frank Dobie, Walter P. Webb, and Roy Bedichek, he developed his considerable abilities as a collector of folklore. For his master's degree thesis, Faulk recorded and analyzed ten African-American sermons from churches in Travis and Bexar Counties. Between 1940 and 1942, Faulk taught English at the University of Texas. In 1942, he joined the U.S. Merchant Marine for a year of trans-Atlantic duty, followed by a year with the Red Cross in Cairo, Egypt. In 1944, he entered the U.S. Army but did not go overseas. Through Alan Lomax, Faulk became acquainted with radio industry officials, and during Christmas 1945, Lomax gave a series of parties to showcase Faulk's yarn-spinning abilities. After the war, Faulk hosted a number of radio shows on different stations as a storyteller. Faulk's radio career ended in 1957, a victim of the Cold War and the blacklisting of the 1950s. Faulk fought his blacklisting in the courts for many years and published a book about his experiences, Fear on Trial (1964). From 1975 to 1980, he appeared as a homespun character on the television program Hee-Haw. During the 1980s, he wrote and produced two one-man plays, Deep in the Heart and Pear Orchard, Texas. During this time, he also traveled the nation urging university students to be vigilant about their constitutional rights and to take advantage of the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. Faulk ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1983. The Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin sponsors the John Henry Faulk Conference on the First Amendment. Faulk died in Austin on April 9, 1990. The city of Austin named the downtown branch of its public library in his honor.

She recorded thousands of songs, ballads, dance tunes, and fiddle tunes, mostly from New England traditional performers. Flanders began collecting folksongs in 1930 for the Vermont Commission of Country Life and her association with the Library of Congress began later that year when she consulted with the Library's first folksong collector and archivist, Robert W. Gordon. She was a member of the National Committee of the National Folk Festival Association and vice president of the Folksong Society of the Northeast. Flanders received an honorary M.A. from Middlebury College in 1942. In 1966, the Vermont House of Representatives added Flanders's name to the state's Roll of Distinction in the Arts. She wrote extensively--a regular column on ballads for the Springfield Sunday Union and Republican (Massachusetts) during the 1930s, and books including Vermont Folk-Songs and Ballads (1931), A Garland of Green Mountain Song (1934), The New Green Mountain Songster: Traditional Folk Songs of Vermont (1939), Ballads Migrant in Vermont (1953), and Ancient Ballads Traditionally Sung in New England (4 volumes, 1960-65).

While a student in Chicago, Johnson assumed responsibility as director of research and investigation for the Chicago Urban League. During World War I, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in France. Johnson returned to Chicago after the war, one week before the race riot of 1919. He completed a study and analysis of the race riot and a plan to study its causes. The governor of Illinois accepted his plan and appointed Johnson associate executive secretary of Chicago's Commission on Race Relations. In 1921, Johnson became the director of research for the National Urban League in New York, where he founded and edited Opportunity: A Journal of Negro Life. Johnson came to Fisk University in 1927 to head the Department of Research. His scholarly ability was recognized by awards and appointments, including the 1930 William E. Harmon Gold Medal for distinguished achievement among African Americans in the field of science. He served on the National Housing Commission under Herbert Hoover and on the U. S. Committee on Farm Tenancy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934, he was elected the first African-American trustee of the Julius Rosenwald Fund and in 1937, he became the first African American elected vice president of the American Sociological Society. When Fisk University created the Institute of Race Relations in 1944, Johnson was chosen to head it. In October 1946, the board of trustees chose Charles S. Johnson as the university's first African-American president. Johnson died in 1956.

Alan Lomax, son of John A. Lomax, was born in Austin, Texas, on January 31, 1915. He was still a teenager when he began making field expeditions with his folksong-collecting father. Together they published American Ballads and Folk Songs (1934) and Our Singing Country (1941). On his own, Alan published The Folk Songs of North America (1960) and many other books. In 1933, the Lomaxes began a mutually beneficial ten-year association with the Library of Congress. Alan became the first federally funded staff member of the Library's Archive of American Folk Song (1936), serving as "assistant in charge" from 1937 to 1942. He made collecting expeditions for the Library, produced a seminal series of documentary folk music albums entitled Folk Music of the United States, conducted interviews with performers such as Jelly Roll Morton, and over the years introduced Washington audiences to an array of folk musicians. In the 1940s, Lomax hosted and produced a series of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) radio broadcasts in New York for Columbia's School of the Air, on which he sang and presented performers such as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and the Golden Gate Quartet. After leaving the Library of Congress, Lomax continued his career as an ethnomusicologist, author, radio broadcaster, filmmaker, concert and record producer, and television host. He traveled in the United States and abroad making documentary recordings, began a database of thousands of songs and dances that he called the "Global Jukebox," and founded the Association for Cultural Equity at Hunter College in New York City. In 1986, he received the National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts, and in 1993, he received the National Book Critics Circle award for nonfiction for his book The Land Where the Blues Began.

John Avery Lomax was born in Goodman, Mississippi, on September 23, 1867. He grew up on the Texas frontier, just north of Meridian in rural Bosque County. After teaching in rural schools for a few years, Lomax entered the University of Texas in 1895, specializing in English literature. After graduation, he worked at the University of Texas as registrar, manager of a men's dormitory, and personal secretary to the president of the university. In 1903, he accepted an offer to teach English at Texas A&M University. In 1907, Lomax attended Harvard University as a graduate student, where he studied under Barrett Wendell and George Lyman Kittredge, two renowned scholars who actively encouraged his interest in cowboy songs. He published Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads in 1910. At around the same time, he co-founded the Texas Folklore Society with Professor Leonidas Payne of the University of Texas. From 1910 to 1917, Lomax taught at the University of Texas, but was one of several professors caught up in a political battle and subsequently fired. For the next fifteen years, he worked in a bank in Chicago. Lomax revived his interest in American folksong in 1932, and began contributing field recordings to the Library of Congress (see The John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip). Over the next ten years, Lomax and his son Alan recorded some of the most important traditional performers in the history of American folklore, including the African-American singer and musician Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter. In 1934, Lomax was named honorary consultant and curator of the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library and later became an advisor in several capacities to the Works Progress Administration. After retiring to Texas in the early 1940s, Lomax continued his collecting activities and his contacts with the Library of Congress. He died in 1948 in Dallas, Texas.

Vance Randolph was a self-educated folklorist who made a living as a professional writer. Born in Pittsburg, Kansas, in 1892, he was educated as a scientist. He studied biology as an undergraduate and psychology as a graduate student at Clark University. While a graduate student, Randolph began to earn money by coaching students and ghostwriting. He then moved to the Ozark Mountains, where he lived for the remainder of his life. In the 1920s, Randolph began writing about the Ozark folklore he was collecting. In February 1941, Alan Lomax wrote to Randolph, asking if he would consider making field recordings in the Ozarks for the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress. Randolph accepted this request and began to conduct fieldwork with recording equipment supplied by the Archive. By the end of 1942, he had collected more than 870 selections on 198 discs for the Library of Congress (see The Vance Randolph Collection, AFC 1941/001). He published several articles on dialect, folk belief, and recreation. Randolph's first books of folklore scholarship, The Ozarks and Ozark Mountain Folks, were published in the 1930s. He went on to publish Ozark Folksongs (4 volumes, 1946-50) and Ozark Superstitions (1947). In the 1950s, he published four collections of folktales and a book about language in the Ozarks. In 1962, he married Mary Celestia Parler, a professor of English at the University of Arkansas and an active member of the folklore community in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Randolph's other major publications include Ozark Folklore: A Bibliography (1972), Pissing in the Snow and Other Ozark Folktales (1976), and Unprintable Ozark Folksongs and Folklore (posthumous, 1992). In 1978, Randolph was named a Fellow of the American Folklore Society. He donated his personal papers to the Library of Congress in 1972. Randolph died in 1980.

Robert Sonkin was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in the Bronx, New York, in 1911. He held degrees from both the City College of New York and Columbia University. Along with Charles L. Todd, he conducted ethnographic research among the migrant workers of California in 1940-41 for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) (see The Charles L. Todd and Robert Sonkin Migrant Worker Collection, 1940-1941). Sonkin also documented the African-American community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, for the FSA. Drafted into the military during World War II, Sonkin served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps. At the end of the war, he returned to the City College of New York, where he founded the college's speech clinic. He retired in 1976, becoming professor emeritus of speech. Sonkin once again undertook a collaborative project with Todd during this period, resulting in the book Alexander Bryan Johnson: Philosophical Banker (1977). Robert Sonkin died in 1980.

Charles Lafayette "Lafe" Todd was born in rural western New York state on December 9, 1911. As an undergraduate studying English literature at Hamilton College, he developed an interest in the Elizabethan ballad. In the late 1930s, while doing graduate work at Columbia University in New York City, Todd lived in Greenwich Village, where he frequented the Village Vanguard, a local night spot where he made the acquaintance of Alan Lomax and other notables of the day such as Woody Guthrie, Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, Burl Ives, John Jacob Niles, and Frank M. Warner. During the same period, Todd met Robert Sonkin; they were both working in the U.S. Department of Public Speaking at the City College of New York, where Todd taught for three years. During their summer vacations in 1940 and 1941, Todd and Sonkin documented life in California's Farm Security Administration (FSA) camps (see The Charles L. Todd and Robert Sonkin Migrant Worker Collection, 1940-1941). In addition to the ethnographic research Todd and Sonkin conducted in California, Todd documented folk music in upstate New York and parts of New Jersey. In 1942, he returned to California and worked as associate manager of the Tulare Migrant Camp in Visalia. He was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he worked as a public relations officer. After World War II, Todd continued his career in public relations, including a stint with the U.S. Department of State producing Cold War broadcasts to Iron Curtain countries. He later became president of an international public relations firm in New York. Ultimately, he became head of the Speech and Communications Department at his alma mater, Hamilton College. Todd and Sonkin undertook another collaborative project, which resulted in a book, Alexander Bryan Johnson: Philosophical Banker, published in 1977. Charles L. Todd and his wife, Clare, are retired in Vero Beach, Florida.
