Dale A. Thomas (MSLIS ’07) published A Band in Every School: Portraits of Historically Black School Bands in Florida. The book is a historical account of the role played during the days of segregation by the Florida Association of Band Directors in improving the quality of instrumental music education in Florida’s historically black schools. Although the book is not intended to be a definitive source, it provides considerable information and over 100 photos. It pays tribute to the lasting legacy of African American music educators and historically black school bands in Florida, many of which survive to this day.
