Alan Lomax's name was all over it, but Charles Johnson, Lewis Jones and especially John Work from Fisk university were the de facto boots on the ground leaders along with student and grad students from Fisk.

In addition to doing a bunch of recording (like field recordings of young Muddy Waters), they also did a bunch of interviews on folkloric topics, and compiled and other cool data like surveys of the titles on the local juke boxes.
