Miller, L: Union Divided Black Musicians' Fight for Labor Equality

"This work shines light on a little known and understood chapter of the American Federation of Musicians' Unions. It explores the creation by Black musicians, history of, and eventual collapse of dual unionism through the amalgamation of separate African American and white organizations. This was a complicated matter lasting some sixty-plus years and author Miller skillfully shows both the benefits and pitfalls of this development."--David Keller, author of The Blue Note: Seattle's Black Musicians' Union, A Pictorial History, distributed by Washington State University Press
