More than 40,000 American men refused to fight during World War II. Citing principled opposition, they declared themselves conscientious objectors. Rejecting combat duty, nearly 12,000 men entered Civilian Public Service (CPS) with the intent to perform \"work of national importance\" as an alternative to combat duty. The CPS program was set up by members of the historic peace churches (Mennonites, Brethren, and Quakers) and participated in by pacifists from other churches, of no specific religious persuasion, and, in the case of a few, no persuasion except not to fight in that particular war. CPS men worked as aides in mental hospitals, volunteered as smoke jumpers in forest fires, and participated in grueling medical and scientific experiments.

Formed by a few visionary high school band directors from across Florida, the FBA sought to promote interest in high school bands and band contests during an era where few schools had bands but interest was growing, and to strengthen the professional standing of the state's band directors. The FBA sponsored a\nsingle State Festival for several years. In the late 1940's, the Festival became large enough that the state was divided into six geographical Districts, and District Contests were devised to serve as qualifiers for bands attending the State Contest. Since then, additional growth resulted in 10\nDistricts, then to 14, then to 15 in 1982, to 17 in 1987, and to 19 in 1995. There is still 19 districts.\nThroughout the years, the FBA has managed state- and district-level band festivals, clinics, and other events, ensuring that music remained in the public school curriculum and maintaining high musical standards for students. In 1966, the FBA completed an amicable merger with the Florida Association of Bandmasters, the equivalent organization for African-American schools\nprior to integration. The FABD had formed in 1941with Leander Kirksey as the first president. He was followed by George H. Hill (1955-1960) and James W. Wilson (1960-1966). Wilson later served as president of the FBA from 1974-1975. Early organizers and leaders of the FBA include some giants in the school band field, including first president Major Ed Chenette, P.J. Gustat, Browne Greaton Cole, and John J. Heney. For a complete list of presidents visit https://fba.flmusiced.org/about/history. FBA eventually became a component organization of the Florida Music Education Association.\nIn addition, the FBA had a relationship with the Florida High School Activities Association, from whom the FBA, and their associated events, received funding. John Joseph Heney, Sr. (1903-1978) was a percussionist, music educator, and historian. He played with numerous bands throughout his career, most notably the John Phillip Sousa Band during its final six years. In addition to playing professionally, Heney taught at numerous schools in the Florida area, including Ketterlinus High School, Stetson University, and DeLand High School, where he stayed for thirty-two years. He was a founder of the FBA and instrumental in starting the archives.

Included are governance-related materials such as constitutions and bylaws, as well as informational bulletins; financial records; minutes of state, district, and committee meetings; and\ncorrespondence to and from Association leadership.

Formed by a few visionary high school band directors from across Florida, the FBA sought to promote interest in high school bands and band contests during an era where few schools had bands but interest was growing, and to strengthen the professional standing of the state's band directors. The FBA sponsored a\nsingle State Festival for several years. In the late 1940's, the Festival became large enough that the state was divided into six geographical Districts, and District Contests were devised to serve as qualifiers for bands attending the State Contest. Since then, additional growth resulted in 10\nDistricts, then to 14, then to 15 in 1982, to 17 in 1987, and to 19 in 1995. There is still 19 districts.\nThroughout the years, the FBA has managed state- and district-level band festivals, clinics, and other events, ensuring that music remained in the public school curriculum and maintaining high musical standards for students. In 1966, the FBA completed an amicable merger with the Florida Association of Bandmasters, the equivalent organization for African-American schools\nprior to integration. The FABD had formed in 1941with Leander Kirksey as the first president. He was followed by George H. Hill (1955-1960) and James W. Wilson (1960-1966). Wilson later served as president of the FBA from 1974-1975. Early organizers and leaders of the FBA include some giants in the school band field, including first president Major Ed Chenette, P.J. Gustat, Browne Greaton Cole, and John J. Heney. For a complete list of presidents visit https://fba.flmusiced.org/about/history. FBA eventually became a component organization of the Florida Music Education Association.\nIn addition, the FBA had a relationship with the Florida High School Activities Association, from whom the FBA, and their associated events, received funding. John Joseph Heney, Sr. (1903-1978) was a percussionist, music educator, and historian. He played with numerous bands throughout his career, most notably the John Phillip Sousa Band during its final six years. In addition to playing professionally, Heney taught at numerous schools in the Florida area, including Ketterlinus High School, Stetson University, and DeLand High School, where he stayed for thirty-two years. He was a founder of the FBA and instrumental in starting the archives.

The 27th life with the Eighty-Ninth was short lived as the squadron was transferred out and sent on through most of its glorious career as a unique singular unit carrying out missions never before assigned in such broad scope to any unit of the Troop Carrier Command.\n Its early responsibilities were that as a training unit for squadrons and personnel with graduates going on to all corners of the earth carrying out their assignment with high valor to advance the efforts to rid the world of the Axis and Japanese aggressors. The squadron earned the honor of being rated the number one training unit in the First Troop Carrier Command. Twice alerted for overseas duty the orders were aborted by High Command in Washington with the reasoning being that it was far too valuable as a training unit here in the United States.\n In late 1943 Japan invaded India with the British and Indian forces having a most difficult time of it. Allied forces submitted an urgent request to High Command requesting the 27th's assignment to the theater due to its outstanding record of night flying in all types of weather and over all terrains. The squadron had been assigned to the Tactical Air Command on 29 November only to once again see orders aborted by High Command on the 30th with new cut sending the unit overseas immediately. A change in Commanders was made on the 6th December and additional personnel brought in to bring the squadron up to full strength. Its air echelon flew to Baer Field, Fort Wayne, Indiana to accept thirteen new Douglas C-47 aircraft then on to Morrison Field, Florida where a fourteenth aircraft and crew joined the flight. The formation departed Florida on 25 December 1943, flying the southern Atlantic route, for assignment to the China-Burma-India theater arriving in Karachi, India on 10 January 1944.\n Assigned to the South East Command, under the command of Vice Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, the unit flew on to Sylhet, Assam, India and immediately began flying combat mission around the clock, over and behind enemy lines, giving assistance to the surrounded forces - often landing on grass strips behind the lives to evacuate wounded personnel.\n The ground echelon departed the United States on 13 January 1944 joining the operation on 28 March.\n With the defeat of the Japanese at Imphal, India the squadron immediately began flying support to help rid North Burma of enemy control. From North East India, General Stilwell (with Chinese Forces) and Major General Orde Wingate (with his beloved \"Chindits\") entered Burma with two columns each driving to the South and South/East. This was followed by the famed \"Merrill's Marauders\" (Amercian Forces) entering the country at the same point driving towards the industrial and rail center of Myitkyina.\n In August 1943, at the \"Quadrant Conference\" in Quebec, Canada, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin gave a green light to General Orde Wingate and his dream of a long-range penetration invasion behind enemy lines with the entire operation, including the furnishing of supplies and removal of wounded, being carried out from the air. The maneuver was to be used in the invasion of Burma from central East India. The 27th was assigned, along with the First Air Commandos, to partake in this invasion entitled \"Operation Thursday\". The flights, towing at times two gliders each, into the mountains were made in the middle of the night in extreme weather. The invasion called for airstrips, often surrounded by Japanese forces, to be established in the middle of the jungles to facilitate air support short landings.\n The taking of Myitkyina by the allied forces saw the 27th transferred to the Fourteenth Air Force \"Flying Tigers\" in China under the direct command of Major General Claire Chennault. The squadron at once partook in the \"Salween Campaign\" - the invasion of Burma from West China.\n With the opening of North Bruma by the Allied forces, the squadron turned its efforts to the Eastern China offensive operations. During this period of history, it gave support to the O.S.S. (forerunner of the C.I.A.) and \"Saco\" in their guerrilla activities at and behind enemy lines in addition to guerrilla units in French Indo China. The later was a secret endeavor with much action kept from the press and the public. The squadron evacuated Admiral MIles, Commander of \"Saco\", from a small grass strip behind enemy lives in Manchuria giving him freedom after over three years in five Japanese prison camps.\nIn the final days of the war in ChIna, the squadron was directly under the operational orders of the O.S.S. through the Headquarters Command of the Tenth Air Force flying covert and search missions behind enemy lines in Manchuria, China, and French Indo China.\n During its glorious career, the 27th flew 6805 missions over the worse terrain in the world in the most vicious weather mother natural could dream up. On many occasions, personnel of the squadron served in the middle of battle as liaison with allied ground forces. The 27th Troop Carrier Squadron received 25 commendations from Theater Command as well as from Washington, D.C., Great Britain and Nationalist China. The personnel of the squadron is some of the most recognized of the war receiving 1271 decorations.\nNote written by Harry A.

The 27th life with the Eighty-Ninth was short lived as the squadron was transferred out and sent on through most of its glorious career as a unique singular unit carrying out missions never before assigned in such broad scope to any unit of the Troop Carrier Command.\n Its early responsibilities were that as a training unit for squadrons and personnel with graduates going on to all corners of the earth carrying out their assignment with high valor to advance the efforts to rid the world of the Axis and Japanese aggressors. The squadron earned the honor of being rated the number one training unit in the First Troop Carrier Command. Twice alerted for overseas duty the orders were aborted by High Command in Washington with the reasoning being that it was far too valuable as a training unit here in the United States.\n In late 1943 Japan invaded India with the British and Indian forces having a most difficult time of it. Allied forces submitted an urgent request to High Command requesting the 27th's assignment to the theater due to its outstanding record of night flying in all types of weather and over all terrains. The squadron had been assigned to the Tactical Air Command on 29 November only to once again see orders aborted by High Command on the 30th with new cut sending the unit overseas immediately. A change in Commanders was made on the 6th December and additional personnel brought in to bring the squadron up to full strength. Its air echelon flew to Baer Field, Fort Wayne, Indiana to accept thirteen new Douglas C-47 aircraft then on to Morrison Field, Florida where a fourteenth aircraft and crew joined the flight. The formation departed Florida on 25 December 1943, flying the southern Atlantic route, for assignment to the China-Burma-India theater arriving in Karachi, India on 10 January 1944.\n Assigned to the South East Command, under the command of Vice Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, the unit flew on to Sylhet, Assam, India and immediately began flying combat mission around the clock, over and behind enemy lines, giving assistance to the surrounded forces - often landing on grass strips behind the lives to evacuate wounded personnel.\n The ground echelon departed the United States on 13 January 1944 joining the operation on 28 March.\n With the defeat of the Japanese at Imphal, India the squadron immediately began flying support to help rid North Burma of enemy control. From North East India, General Stilwell (with Chinese Forces) and Major General Orde Wingate (with his beloved \"Chindits\") entered Burma with two columns each driving to the South and South/East. This was followed by the famed \"Merrill's Marauders\" (Amercian Forces) entering the country at the same point driving towards the industrial and rail center of Myitkyina.\n In August 1943, at the \"Quadrant Conference\" in Quebec, Canada, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin gave a green light to General Orde Wingate and his dream of a long-range penetration invasion behind enemy lines with the entire operation, including the furnishing of supplies and removal of wounded, being carried out from the air. The maneuver was to be used in the invasion of Burma from central East India. The 27th was assigned, along with the First Air Commandos, to partake in this invasion entitled \"Operation Thursday\". The flights, towing at times two gliders each, into the mountains were made in the middle of the night in extreme weather. The invasion called for airstrips, often surrounded by Japanese forces, to be established in the middle of the jungles to facilitate air support short landings.\n The taking of Myitkyina by the allied forces saw the 27th transferred to the Fourteenth Air Force \"Flying Tigers\" in China under the direct command of Major General Claire Chennault. The squadron at once partook in the \"Salween Campaign\" - the invasion of Burma from West China.\n With the opening of North Bruma by the Allied forces, the squadron turned its efforts to the Eastern China offensive operations. During this period of history, it gave support to the O.S.S. (forerunner of the C.I.A.) and \"Saco\" in their guerrilla activities at and behind enemy lines in addition to guerrilla units in French Indo China. The later was a secret endeavor with much action kept from the press and the public. The squadron evacuated Admiral MIles, Commander of \"Saco\", from a small grass strip behind enemy lives in Manchuria giving him freedom after over three years in five Japanese prison camps.\nIn the final days of the war in ChIna, the squadron was directly under the operational orders of the O.S.S. through the Headquarters Command of the Tenth Air Force flying covert and search missions behind enemy lines in Manchuria, China, and French Indo China.\n During its glorious career, the 27th flew 6805 missions over the worse terrain in the world in the most vicious weather mother natural could dream up. On many occasions, personnel of the squadron served in the middle of battle as liaison with allied ground forces. The 27th Troop Carrier Squadron received 25 commendations from Theater Command as well as from Washington, D.C., Great Britain and Nationalist China. The personnel of the squadron is some of the most recognized of the war receiving 1271 decorations.\nNote written by Harry A.

The 27th life with the Eighty-Ninth was short lived as the squadron was transferred out and sent on through most of its glorious career as a unique singular unit carrying out missions never before assigned in such broad scope to any unit of the Troop Carrier Command.\n Its early responsibilities were that as a training unit for squadrons and personnel with graduates going on to all corners of the earth carrying out their assignment with high valor to advance the efforts to rid the world of the Axis and Japanese aggressors. The squadron earned the honor of being rated the number one training unit in the First Troop Carrier Command. Twice alerted for overseas duty the orders were aborted by High Command in Washington with the reasoning being that it was far too valuable as a training unit here in the United States.\n In late 1943 Japan invaded India with the British and Indian forces having a most difficult time of it. Allied forces submitted an urgent request to High Command requesting the 27th's assignment to the theater due to its outstanding record of night flying in all types of weather and over all terrains. The squadron had been assigned to the Tactical Air Command on 29 November only to once again see orders aborted by High Command on the 30th with new cut sending the unit overseas immediately. A change in Commanders was made on the 6th December and additional personnel brought in to bring the squadron up to full strength. Its air echelon flew to Baer Field, Fort Wayne, Indiana to accept thirteen new Douglas C-47 aircraft then on to Morrison Field, Florida where a fourteenth aircraft and crew joined the flight. The formation departed Florida on 25 December 1943, flying the southern Atlantic route, for assignment to the China-Burma-India theater arriving in Karachi, India on 10 January 1944.\n Assigned to the South East Command, under the command of Vice Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, the unit flew on to Sylhet, Assam, India and immediately began flying combat mission around the clock, over and behind enemy lines, giving assistance to the surrounded forces - often landing on grass strips behind the lives to evacuate wounded personnel.\n The ground echelon departed the United States on 13 January 1944 joining the operation on 28 March.\n With the defeat of the Japanese at Imphal, India the squadron immediately began flying support to help rid North Burma of enemy control. From North East India, General Stilwell (with Chinese Forces) and Major General Orde Wingate (with his beloved \"Chindits\") entered Burma with two columns each driving to the South and South/East. This was followed by the famed \"Merrill's Marauders\" (Amercian Forces) entering the country at the same point driving towards the industrial and rail center of Myitkyina.\n In August 1943, at the \"Quadrant Conference\" in Quebec, Canada, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin gave a green light to General Orde Wingate and his dream of a long-range penetration invasion behind enemy lines with the entire operation, including the furnishing of supplies and removal of wounded, being carried out from the air. The maneuver was to be used in the invasion of Burma from central East India. The 27th was assigned, along with the First Air Commandos, to partake in this invasion entitled \"Operation Thursday\". The flights, towing at times two gliders each, into the mountains were made in the middle of the night in extreme weather. The invasion called for airstrips, often surrounded by Japanese forces, to be established in the middle of the jungles to facilitate air support short landings.\n The taking of Myitkyina by the allied forces saw the 27th transferred to the Fourteenth Air Force \"Flying Tigers\" in China under the direct command of Major General Claire Chennault. The squadron at once partook in the \"Salween Campaign\" - the invasion of Burma from West China.\n With the opening of North Bruma by the Allied forces, the squadron turned its efforts to the Eastern China offensive operations. During this period of history, it gave support to the O.S.S. (forerunner of the C.I.A.) and \"Saco\" in their guerrilla activities at and behind enemy lines in addition to guerrilla units in French Indo China. The later was a secret endeavor with much action kept from the press and the public. The squadron evacuated Admiral MIles, Commander of \"Saco\", from a small grass strip behind enemy lives in Manchuria giving him freedom after over three years in five Japanese prison camps.\nIn the final days of the war in ChIna, the squadron was directly under the operational orders of the O.S.S. through the Headquarters Command of the Tenth Air Force flying covert and search missions behind enemy lines in Manchuria, China, and French Indo China.\n During its glorious career, the 27th flew 6805 missions over the worse terrain in the world in the most vicious weather mother natural could dream up. On many occasions, personnel of the squadron served in the middle of battle as liaison with allied ground forces. The 27th Troop Carrier Squadron received 25 commendations from Theater Command as well as from Washington, D.C., Great Britain and Nationalist China. The personnel of the squadron is some of the most recognized of the war receiving 1271 decorations.\nNote written by Harry A.

Included in the book was an 1880 correspondence from the U.S. army to the 10th Cavalry of \"Buffalo Soldiers.\" This discovery was the first step in a journey that would take her around the country in a quest to preserve African American culture. This quest ultimately led to the acquisition of more than 1,500 artifacts and documents that range from 1794 to 2010. Ms. Mundy also founded her own non-profit organization, African American History Education and Culture Society, and has curated a traveling exhibit entitled, \"The African American Legacy: The Carol Mundy Collection.\" Further, Ms. Mundy has partnered with the University of Central Florida's Department of African American Studies to found the \"Carol E. Mundy African American Cultural and Diasporic Research Center\" using artifacts from the collection. According to their website, \"The Center will be fostered through research, dissemination of historical information and social traditions, educational programs, exhibits, conferences and related activities.\"","Processed by John Venecek, Sandra Varry, and Erica England; finding aid created by Nadeen Kiwan. Additional materials added to the collection by Antonice L. Morin in 2021.","A small book collection accompanies this collection and may be accessed by performing a series search for the \"Carol Mundy Library\" in the  Online Catalog .","This collection consists of over 1,500 items related to the African American experience in the following formats: monographs, manuscripts, sheet music, pamphlets, journals, newspapers, broadsides, posters, photographs, and rare ephemera. These materials are divided into six topical series:","\nSeries I: Apopka Documents, 1892-1950, consists mostly of the personal papers of local businessmen, George Oden (1862-1939) and Michael Gladden, executor of Oden's estate. Also significant are a number of documents from Ella Wall, an Apopka resident who was the inspiration for a character in Zora Neale Hurston's Mules and Men. Mrs. Wall ran an Orange Grove, and was a close friend and confidant of Michael Gladden, Jr. until her death. Materials in this series largely consist of purchase receipts, tax forms, and other legal documents.","\nSeries II: Civil Rights-era, 1950-1997, consists of ephemera including magazines, sheet music, pamphlets, posters, and post cards. Not all the items in this series pertain directly to the Civil Rights Movement per se; rather they are grouped together because they fall within a specific date range.","\nSeries III: Dolls, circa 1930-1949, includes hand-made Caribbean island dolls, puppets and marionettes originating from the Caribbean.","\nSeries IV: Early America \u0026 Civil War-era, 1794-1892, contains the oldest materials in the collection that bookend the Civil War. Materials include magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, photographs and illustrations. Of particular interest is an original Buffalo Soldier muster roll signed by Colonel Abner Doubleday, discharge papers from 1874, and an authentic slave bill of sale.","\nSeries V: An oversized 19th century bible, 1857-1890, in a protective cloth clamshell and 11 black and white photographs that were originally stored inside the bible. The photographs vary both in subject and format, but do include several tintypes as well as portraits taken by notable African American photographer, James Presley (J.P.) Ball.","\nSeries VI: Photographs, 1860s - 1960s, includes a large collection of photographs that range from the 1860s - the 1960s. The \"assorted\" photographs in this collection are arranged chronologically, but there are several thematic sub-series as well. Those subseries include Bishop College, Civil Rights Movement, Civil Rights-era, South Dakota, and William T. Vernon photographs.","\nSeries VII: Visual Material, 1800s - 1969, consists of advertisements, postcards, product packaging, illustrations from magazines and newspapers, and other assorted \"visual\" ephemera. Much of the material in this series is considered racist or \"derogatory.\"","\nSeries VIII: Miscellaneous, 1880s - 1989, contains a small collection of materials that didn't fit into one of the other series.
