Gospel music is a true art form in the Arkansas Delta - touching lives regardless of age, race and background. Tell It! Sing It! Shout It! features text, photographs and artifacts relating to sacred music of the Arkansas Delta and the performers who gained recognition in the genre. Gospel music grew in the 20th century out of the hymns and spirituals of prior centuries and it continues today to develop in new directions. The exhibit features the stories of such gospel greats as Helena-born Roberta Martin, who formed the Robert Martin Singers and became a dominant force in gospel music for over 35 years. Her funeral in Chicago in 1969 drew 50,000 mourners and is reportedly the largest funeral in the history of the Windy City. Born in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, Sister Rosetta Tharpe rose to fame in the late 1930s with performances at Harlem's famed Cotton Club and Carnegie Hall.
