Now you know the story. #musicicons #musichistory #omegaliveproductions #williamsbuildingpalacios Omega ProductionsAlexander Thomas Augusta was rejected from medical school in the United States for the color of his skin. Refusing to give up, he moved to Canada and earned his degree in medicine from Trinity College of the University of Toronto.With the Emancipation Proclamation and creation of the United States Colored Troops, Augusta offered his services to the U.S. Army.Once again, he faced institutional racism. The Medical Department Board of Examination focused on his being "a person of African descent," but also tried to argue that he could not be admitted as a surgeon because "he is an alien & a British subject - his entrance into the US Military Service is an Evident violation of her Britannic Majesty's Proclamation of neutrality." The proclamation was issued on this day in 1861.It took an appeal to the highest levels of government to finally admit Augusta as a surgeon. He would eventually become the highest ranking black officer of the Civil War and led a distinguished careerSource:NARA M1820. Compiled military service records of volunteer Union soldiers who served with the United States Colored Troops, 2nd through 7th Colored Infantry, 1861-65, via Fold3.Image credit:Alexander T.

Posting this from two years ago. We are still working on our papers for the UNT Music Library, except for a few detours (visits from kids and grandchildren as well as a few med issues). We recently sold our W. C. Williams Building, to do some downsizing, so the balance will be done from new digs (reveal to come). We are thankful to the UNT folks for their patience and for all the wonderful folks who have been part of the journey. Stay tuned… #musicicons #musichistory #omegaliveproductions #williamsbuildingpslacios Omega Productions ... See MoreSee Less
