About this user
Recording artist, documentary filmmaker & keeper of the spirituals Calvin Earl rose to national prominence in 2007 when he ensured the destiny of the humble spiritual as part of American history when he succeeded in moving the US Congress to a unanimous vote that would forever recognize the African American Spiritual as a National Treasure and would honor the slaves for their contributions to our nation "with our deepest gratitude and respect". In 2008 President George W. Bush presented him with a Presidential Proclamation "celebrating the extraordinary talents and creativity of African-American singers, musicians, and composers whose achievements have enriched our culture and enhanced our lives".
