Bolton/Burleigh Collection

Bolton / Burleigh Collection

Mrs. Tibby Christenberry and the Bolton Family donated a workbook and a set of sheet music to NMAAM’s permanent collection. The song, “We Will All Rise Together,” was collected by Dorothy Gray Bolton (Christenberry’s great-grandmother) and arranged by famed African American composer, Harry Thacker Burleigh. The sheet music was notated by Burleigh in collaboration with Bolton.
