On Saturday March 7, 2020, the McGovern Historical Center held an event with Medical Humanities students from Rice University. Students reviewed materials from MS 220 Sister Mary Agnes Joy papers and listed keywords and phrases conveyed within the content. The list was provided to a group of musicians who composed a series of songs. The songs were performed for the group of students.
Organizers of the event were Philip Montgomery, Head of the McGovern Historical Center and Dr. Melissa Bailar, Rice University, Medical Humanities program. Musicians for the event were Stewart Nelson (sitar, guitar), Gary Davis (guitar, bass), and Chloe Vuong (vocals).
