Alton Augustus Adams, Sr., was a musician, writer, hotelier, and
the first black bandmaster of the United States Navy. Born in the
Virgin Islands in 1889, Adams joined the U.S. military in 1917.
Although naval policy at the time restricted blacks to menial jobs,
Adams and his all-black ensemble provided a bridge between the
local population and their all-white naval administrators. His
memoirs, edited by Mark Clague, with a foreword by Samuel Floyd,
Jr., reveal an inspired activist who believed music could change
the world, mitigate racism, and bring prosperity to his island
home.
