We're kicking off Black History Month with an excerpt from "The Bamboula," Rhapsodic Dance No. 1, Opus 75, composed by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. 🎵 Did you know? Coleridge-Taylor, who is of mixed race, achieved such success that he was referred to by white New York musicians as the "African Mahler" when he had three tours of the United States in the early 1900s. | Houston Symphony

"Bamboula Dancers from Ulla F. Muller School remind us that there were many transfers in our history that created the people you see today. Transfers from Africa, from enslavement and transfers to self-determination. Happy Transfer day as we reminisce, recollect, and reflect on 104 years under the American Flag." -Governor Albert Bryan Jr #transferday | Government House - US Virgin Islands
