James Monroe Trotter (1842-1892) was a notable figure in the 19th century, not only for his achievements in literature but also for his progress in civil rights. Born into slavery in Grand Gulf, Mississippi, Trotter emerged as a self-educated man of many talents, with 'Music and Some Highly Musical People' being a significant contribution to recognizing African American musicians and their histories. His book, first published in 1878, remains an important document for researchers and enthusiasts of African American music history and was pioneering in its recognition of black musicians during a period when few resources existed on the subject. Trotter's literary style is informative and accessible, blending biographical sketches with insights into the cultural context of his time. Amongst the first of its kind, Trotter's work lays groundwork for African American musicology, touching upon the achievements of artists in the face of racial prejudice and societal barriers. His dedication to advocating for the rights and recognition of African Americans spans beyond his literary work, as he served as a United States color sergeant in the Civil War and later held a position as a Recorder of Deeds in Washington, D.C. Trotter's legacy, particularly through his literary accomplishments, contributes to our understanding of the evolution and appreciation of African American music and its contributors.
