Dr. Reno's "Railroad Bill" offers an original composition on the 19th century murder ballad about Railroad Bill. Railroad Bill was known as the Black Robin Hood in southern Alabama for robbing and killing people on trains, and using the loot to help the poor. Dr. Reno pieced together different stanzas from a variety of folk songs to create his original song.

Sydni Fuqua's documentary was a final project in her Women in Literature class. The documentary offers an inside look at The United Order of Tents,  secret society caring for African-American women and children.
