- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Atlanta Colored Music Festival Association. The Atlanta Colored Music Festival Association, founded by African American Congregational minister Henry Hugh Proctor, presented a concert in 1910 remarkable not only for the quality of its program but also for its audience, blacks and whites seated separately but under one roof in Atlanta. Subsequent annual concerts continued until about 1918. Proctor's complex motivation for the concerts had a simple foundation in his conviction that music could ease racial animosity and even promote racial harmony.
