Visit library for exhibition of Ferris’s photographs

TO THE EDITOR:

We enjoyed the coverage of Prof. William Ferris’ talk in Davis Library (“UNC folklorist shares his love for blues music,” March 17). The program marked the opening of an exhibition of 45 photographs from Ferris’ book, “Give My Poor Heart Ease: Voices of the Mississippi Blues.”

We invite the campus and local community to come enjoy and learn from these magnificent photographs. The free public exhibit will be on view in the gallery of Davis Library through the end of the year.

The library is also glad to announce a new guided audio tour of the exhibit, available for check-out at the Davis Library circulation desk. The 17-minute tour on an MP3 player features Ferris talking about his work, along with samples of blues music from the CD that accompanies his book.
