Thompson Charlottesville, Virginia BA, University of Alabama, 2002 MA, University of Mississippi, 2013 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of History University of Virginia May 2015 2 On April 21, 1956, Alabama newspaper The Anniston Star published a letter to the editor, criticizing what the writer perceived as the press’s unfair characterization of five local white men as “hoodlums” for their recent involvement in an act of racial violence. Mrs. Orliss W. Clevenger, a white resident of Anniston and wife of one of the “hoodlums,” wrote indignantly that she could not “understand why when a White does something to a Negro it makes front page for two or three days and why when three Negro men raped that white woman a few weeks ago, there was only one small article about it down at the bottom of the page.” With palpable resentment, Mrs. Clevenger decried a local minister for writing a letter of condemnation regarding her husband while failing to pen one denouncement of the accused African American rapists. Surely, the clergyman did not think that her husband’s crime constituted a sin worse than the rape of a white woman? Surely, the local paper did not condemn her husband for acting on behalf of the white race? Mrs. Clevenger ended her letter by reiterating her loyalty to her husband and, by extension, her race, writing, “I’m not ashamed of what they did because that is not near so bad as rape.” “If we have lost any white friends because of this,” she concluded, “I don’t think they were worth having anyway!”1 At the time, Mrs.

    1 The TRUMPET of ORAN THADDEUS PAGE “HOT LIPS” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: March 31, 2020, April 28, 2021 2 Born: Dallas, Texas, Jan. 27, 1908 Died: NYC. Nov. 5, 1954 Introduction: Hot Lips Page was for unknown reasons rather marginally recognized in my Oslo Jazz Circle upbringing, and only later I opened my ears to his fine trumpet playing! Dan Morgenstern’s various liner notes helped a lot too! History: First music lessons from his mother, a former school-teacher. Early efforts on clarinet and saxophone, specialised on trumpet from the age of 12. Joined kids’ band led by bass drummer Lux Alexander. Left music temporarily, attended high school in Corsicana,Texas, left to do manual work in Seminole oil fields in Texas. Became regular member of band accompanying Ma Ra iney, made first visit to New York with Ma Rainey for bookings at the Lincoln Theatre. Worked with a T.O.B.A. circuit touring band, accompanied Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, etc. Joined Troy Floyd Band in San Antonio, also worked in Texas with Sugar Lou and Eddie’s Hotel Tyler Band. Was heard with this band by bassist Walter Page (no relation) and subsequently joined the Blue Devils band early in 1928. Left the band in 1930 to join Bennie Moten’s band, worked mainly with Moten until 1935, after that leader’s death (April 1935) led own quintet in and around Kansas City. Worked as a specialty act with Count Basie at the Reno Club, Kansas City (1936), was signed by manager Joe Glaser and moved to New York.
