I think I speak for each member of the National Board when I say how excited we are to be in the early planning stages of the 2011 NNOA National Professional Development and Training Conference being held in San Diego, 1-5 AUG 2011. You can be certain that the leadership is truly committed to promoting diversity through recruitment, personnel development, and mentoring. And there’s nothing like hearing that com- mitment directly from those in top leadership roles. We certainly have come a long way and I am honored to be a part of this great team. The NNOA website has been set up for you to reserve your room for the conference now and avoid the rush. We are preparing an exciting agenda and the conference planning staff is ready to meet your high expectations for another awesome event. The hotel is one of the best venues we will have ever attended and is fully capable of meeting our needs. I hope to see all of you there. I have been in constant contact with the chapter leaders over the past 7 months and I can assure you of their dedication to the goals and ideals of this great association. We are so blessed to have these leaders in place at a time where strong leadership is so im- portant. I ask that you keep our top priorities foremost in your mind; junior officer development, a growing membership, and scholarships to deserving youths. Finally, I ask you to ask yourself often, “What can I do to help NNOA today?” Rededicate yourself to attending and being an active member of your chapter. Reach out to your peers and bring a new member to your next meeting opportunity. Reach out to a re- tired or reserve local former member and invite them to the next meeting opportunity. Finally, I ask for your partnership to in- form aspiring young men and women about NROTC and service academy opportunities (USNA and USCGA). If you have a Son, Daughter, Brother, Sister, or someone in your community that has the potential, please let them know about this great opportuni- ty to receive a four-year STEM-based Bachelor of Science degree, commission on graduation, guaranteed five-year job, and finally, the honor to serve our great nation! I look forward to hearing from you ([email protected]) and seeing you at the next conference! Sincerely, CAPT Tony Barnes, USN (ret) 3 Tidewater Chapter Receives Community Award The Tidewater Chapter of the National Naval Officers Association, Inc. (NNOA) was recognized recently by the Literacy Part- nership for the chapter’s work in the Hampton Roads, Va. community. On Feb. 24, Tidewater NNOA received the 5th Annual Rear Admiral Ben Hacker Literacy Leadership Award in the Business Category. The Literacy Partnership is a non-profit organization whose primary goals are to strengthen the culture of lifelong learning with- in Hampton Roads and support and initiate efforts to increase access to literacy resources and programs. The RADM Ben Hacker Literacy Leadership Award was created by the Literacy Partnership to recognize the contributions of individuals, pro- grams, and businesses that move forward the goal of becoming a fully literate society. The Tidewater NNOA Chapter was selected for this distinguished honor because of the chapter’s multi-pronged approach to improving literacy. Chapter members volunteer in two Norfolk public schools, Camp Allen and Campostella Elementary Schools. The vari- ety and scope of the programming the chapter has developed, has en- hanced literacy and helped students recognize their stake in their own development. The award was presented to chapter representatives by Mr. Tommy Johnson, a member of the Board of Directors and Volunteers for WHRO Public Broadcasting Television Station. According to John- son, elementary schools and communities are thankful to have non- profit organizations like Tidewater NNOA in their corner. The Literacy Leadership Award is named for Rear Adm.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School AN ORAL HISTORY OF THE NAVY BAND B-1: THE FIRST ALL-BLACK NAVY BAND OF WORLD WAR II A Dissertation in Music Education by Gregory Abdul Drane © 2020 Gregory Abdul Drane Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2020 ii The dissertation of Gregory Abdul Drane was reviewed and approved* by the following: O. Richard Bundy, Jr. Professor of Music Education, Emeritus Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Robert Gardner Associate Professor of Music Education David McBride Professor of African American Studies and African American History Ann Clements Professor of Music Education Linda Thornton Professor of Music Education Chair of the Graduate Program iii ABSTRACT This study investigates the service of the Navy Band B-1, the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. For many years it was believed that the black musicians of the Great Lakes Camp held the distinction as the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. However, prior to the opening of the Navy’s Negro School of Music at the Great Lakes Camps, the Navy Band B-1 had already completed its training and was in full service. This study documents the historical timeline of events associated with the formation of the Navy Band B-1, the recruitment of the bandsmen, their service in the United States Navy, and their valuable contributions to the country. Surviving members of the Navy Band B-1 were interviewed to share their stories and reflections of their service during World War II.

  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.

Those ships would receive a plaque that could be mounted on the bulkhead for all to see. A retroactive program to catch up with those cutters that had already been commissioned and were in service were not to be left out.
