This image depicts a newspaper clipping from the Journal and Sentinel. At the top of the clipping, "Music, Community, Journal and Sentinel June 24, 1951 N" is written in pencil. The clipping includes two images and the article "50,000 Expected to Gather This Afternoon For Annual Singing on Grandfather Mountain" by an unknown author. The article is about the 1951 iteration of an annual gospel singing event that took place on Grandfather Mountain. The article explains the event and its past before listing a few of the organizers. There is also a list of the performers at the event and their experience with leading songs. One image is of Rev. Shelby E. Cragg in the middle of a sermon. He is wearing a suit and glasses. The other image is the crowd of the 1950 singing event on Grandfather Mountain. Most of the audience is wearing white clothing and are looking to a stage with some performers. Behind the performers is Grandfather Mountain shrouded by some mist.
