J.O. Johnson High School Marching Band Uniform HatThe school was named for former Huntsville educator James Oliver Johnson, who served as a Brigadier General in the United States Army. Johnson commanded one of the first all black combat battalion in WW II, leading to the integration and racial diversity of the US Army. Johnson led men who constructed airplane infrastructure on the ground in North Africa and Mediterranean region, for Army Air Forces including the Tuskegee Airmen.
True to the legacy of its namesake, JO Johnson was the first new High School in Huntsville, Alabama built as a racially integrated high school. Black and White Students had no strife, and became the model High School throughout the state shortly after the Civil Rights era.
The band was called the Mighty Sounds of the South and was very popular. The school closed in 2016 but there are plenty of video and photo's available online of the band in their uniforms.
The hat is in good condition and I will ship quickly. Thanks for looking!
