Lucy McKim Garrison
Lucy McKim Garrison (October 30, 1842 - May 11, 1877), born in Philadelphia, was an American song collector and co-editor of Slave Songs of the United States.[1] Her work in Port Royal, South Carolina constitutes the first attempt to systematically describe the characteristics of African American spirituals.[2][3] She married Wendell Phillips Garrison in Philadelphia on December 6, 1865, and died in West Orange, New Jersey of heart disease after a long illness culminating in paralysis. She was survived by her husband and three children. Her story is told in a biography by musicologist Samuel Charters entitled "Songs of Sorrow".[1]
