Author Brenda Kay Ledford received the Paul Green Multimedia Award from North Carolina Society of Historians for her children's picture book, The Singing Convention, on November 14, 2021.
According to the NCSH judges, "Ledford's book is a gem capturing fully the spirit and sense of family that were part of the Singing Convention tradition in and around Hayesville, NC back at that time.
Doreyl Ammons Cain also received the Paul Green Award for illustrating this book. The Society said the style and quality of the artwork wonderfully complement the verbal rendering of the spirit and excitement aroused in the Blue Ridge families by the anticipation and sheer joy of going to the Singing Convention. Masterfully done by author and artist alike.
She is the founder of the Appalachian Mural Trail.
