From the Editor - March 2025

I recently had the great good fortune to attend a voice recital by my dear college friend Limmie Pulliam. Titled “Resilience and Revelation: A Musical Exploration of the Human Condition,” the program comprised “spirituals, songs, and arias,” and included a sublime and timely encore. This issue of Notes, including Five Questions for Cheryl Willis Hudson (also an Oberlin alum and fan of Limmie!) and London Ladd, is a celebration of artistic and poetic expressions and a reckoning with tumultuous pasts with a call to the song's refrain: “Make Them Hear You.”

From the March 2025 issue of Notes from the Horn Book.
