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.
Example:
Young Men Olympians Benevolent Association

Bennet Band Books:
The Bennett Band Books published in four volumes starting in 1923 were used to teach the march form and style to millions of young band musicians in the middle of the twentieth century. 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.
DeDe Pierce recalled they used it in the D'Jalma Garnier Brass Band
