Here's a link to the Association for Cultural Equity site, where you can find a lot of the Alan Lomax material (Alan Lomax tab at top)

I gave you selections from Alan Lomax's writing in our course Reader. It's also good to hear his voice--and to see him--in parallel. There's a great deal of material on YouTube as well....in fact, ACE uses YouTube for this purpose. Look under ACE tab and navigate to YouTube channels...

This is a life's work on Alan Lomax's part--you'll only graze the surface.  But each of you can get a sense of who he was--his commitments and aspirations--and some of what he accomplished...

A excellent book in parallel would be John Szwed's Alan Lomax: The Man who Recorded the World
