America's music transforms our experiences into potent messages inspiring social justice, enlivening collective action, and reflecting chemistries of our national collective social fabric.  Alan Jabbour discusses the roles archives, libraries, and heritage centers play in the preservation of music and the promotion of America's diverse cultures.  He also touches on such topics as traditional fiddling in rural America and oral traditions as a preserver of community identity and cultural heritage.
