Benevolent association:
In the post-Bellum period freed slaves, who
could no longer look to plantation owners in times of sickness or death
but who were economically independent, were denied life insurance by white
controlled companies. The ever present threat of Yellow Fever in the South
during that period, meant that a family might suddenly find itself without
a bread-winner and without even the funds to give a beloved father and
mother a decent burial. To rectify this situation the black community
established benevolent associations patterned on similar organisations
serving white society.

Association

Twelve of the legendary Henry Fillmore's tuneful band gems (written using
the pseudonym Harold Bennett) have been collected together by Larry Clark
to form the first volume of The New Bennett Band Books.
