2 Burleigh is mentioned in neither a recent Encyclopedia of African American Music (Santa Barbara, CA: Greenwood Press, 2011), nor in Samuel Floyd's seminal International Dictionary of Black Composers (Chicago: Fitzroy Dearborn, 1999). He is also absent from Eileen Southern's discussion of black classical composers in the third edition of The Music of Black Americans: A History (New York: W. W. Norton, 1997).

3 These sources include a handful of articles and advertisements in Black newspapers such as the New York Amsterdam News, the music catalogues of publishers such as J. W. Pepper, and the archives of Columbia College Chicago's Center for Black Music Research, which holds over two dozen of Burleigh's scores (donated by the composer).
