Corrigan prompt #1

 Hello, my name is Catie Corrigan, and I am from Fairfield, Connecticut. I major in anthropology, and I decided to choose this class because I think the gospel is a very important part of our history, and I want to learn how it all began. I hope to learn about important musicians who contributed to the start of this genre, along with more recent musicians. I don't have one favorite gospel act, since I don't know too much about the gospel. I grew up going to the Catholic church, so I've heard a few songs.  However, I am excited to learn about various songs throughout the semester.
