Title A name given to the resource Objects of Celebration: LGBTQ+ Ornamentation in the Twentieth Century Subject The topic of the resource The materiality of LGBTQ+ celebration in the mid-south during the twentieth century.

In particular, Ron's efforts to make space for LGBTQ+ individuals in the region have been made concrete through the numerous gay bars he has helped own and operate, in many cases serving as venues for drag pageants. In the foreword for James Sears' "Growing Up Gay in the South: Race, Gender, and Journeys of Spirit," Virginia Uribe wrote that, in the South, the stories of the LGBTQ+ are at their core "stories of courage and triumph in the face of defeat" (Sears 1991, xii). Vanderbilt Special Collections, largely under the initiative of Sarah Calise, has made a broad effort to make those stories visible and available for the public and scholars alike. The Ron Sanford Papers, a collection of items related to Sanford's life and career, form one pillar of this archival project. This collection, drawing on those papers, highlights the objects that defined LGBTQ+ celebration in the mid-south during the twentieth century and the material aspects of a pageantry tradition which Sanford himself was active in organizing throughout his career.

Description An account of the resource Bill Monroe (1911–1996) was a singer, mandolinist, and songwriter who pioneered the genre of bluegrass music. His band, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, set the foundation for bluegrass with its tight harmonies, fast tempos, and virtuosic instrumentation. He fused old-time Appalachian music, blues, and gospel into a distinct sound that inspired generations of musicians. In 1939, Bill Monroe travelled to Nashville to audition for the Grand Ole Opry after honing his skills in North Carolina. Impressed by his performance of Jimmie Rodgers’ Mule Skinner Blues, WSM radio executives George D. Hay, Harry Stone, and David Stone offered him a regular spot on the Opry. By 1943, Monroe had become a household name, reportedly earning around $200,000 a year from performances. At the time, the Opry was held at Nashville’s War Memorial Auditorium, but its move to the Ryman in June 1943 coincided with key changes in Monroe’s band—developments that would play a crucial role in defining bluegrass as a genre.
