Posthumous Recognition
Like many blues musicians of his era, Joe McCoy's grave site was originally unmarked. A tribute concert took place in October 2010 to celebrate the music of Joe and his brother Charlie and to buy gravestones for each of them; they were installed on May 31, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or recognition:
“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
