EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of musical history - the baton used by Dr. Isaac Ben Greggs, renowned Director of the Southern University - Baton Rouge marching band, fondly known as "the Human Jukebox". The baton itself is a remarkable blend of elegance and functionality. Its white plastic stick gracefully tapers towards the tip, creating a seamless connection with the varnished, light brown wooden handle. Smoothly rounded at its base, this handle exudes an air of authority and expertise. Dr. Greggs wielded this very baton to lead The Human Jukebox during their exhilarating performances and spirited games. As one gazes upon this artifact, it becomes evident that it symbolizes not only his personal journey but also represents African American heritage in music education. Captured in the early 2000s, this image encapsulates an era where cultural diversity thrived within America's artistic landscape. It serves as a reminder of how music transcends boundaries and unites people from all walks of life. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this object stands as a testament to Dr. Greggs' immense contributions to both academia and performance artistry. This photograph allows us to appreciate his legacy while celebrating the rich tapestry that is black history in America.
