#ResistanceRoots Alton Adams was born on this day in 1889 in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. He was a composer, journalist and civic leader who became the Navy’s first Black bandmaster and formed its first official integrated band. His march “The Virgin Islands March” is the territory’s anthem. /1

Chief Petty Officer Alton Adams in his Navy uniform. Adams used artistic excellence as a quiet but powerful force for social advancement, racial integration and cultural preservation. Rather than engaging in political activism, he dismantled barriers by maintaining a standard of excellence so undeniable that segregated institutions had to respect his leadership. He gave his homeland its sonic identity by composing “The Virgin islands March.” By modernizing public music education and helping found St. Thomas’s first public library, he built the infrastructure for the islands’ intellectual and cultural growth. Recognizing that political freedom is fragile without economic power, he pivoted to journalism and hospitality to fight Jim Crow segregation. Adams proved that a person does not need to set out to be an activist to change the course of history. By protecting his community and executing his craft with absolute mastery, he transformed the Virgin Islands and the U.S. military.
