With a voice born in the mountains and shaped by the hard times she lived and saw, Ola Belle Reed (1916–2002) established herself as a significant and influential banjo picker, singer, and songwriter of old-time mountain music.

Explore her legacy in the exhibition Ola Belle Reed: I've Endured, on display at UMBC's Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery through June 30! Open this weekend with free parking.
