PRINCETON — Folksingers and storytellers Sparky and Rhonda Rucker will present “Heroes and Hard Times,” a program drawn from African-American experience and culture, at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Princeton Public Library.

“Heroes and Hard Times” features work songs, spirituals and the blues, which emerged from the African-American experience as truly American musical forms.

The Ruckers’ performance is a preview program for the library’s upcoming Museum on Main Street Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition, “Journey Stories,” which will highlight American history through the lens of immigration, migration and transportation.
