From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, July 25, 1925: Beginning tomorrow, Indianapolis will host the seventh annual National Association of Negro Musicians convention. The Indianapolis Music Promoters, a branch of the national association, will provide entertainment. Colored musicians, artists, and instructors from across the country will gather Sunday afternoon for a songfest at Caleb Mills Hall featuring a local chorus of 150 voices singing negro spirituals and special numbers. In the evening, several of the negro artists will appear in churches throughout the city with the object of increasing interest in negro music and to encourage negro composers and artists. Contralto Marian Anderson and the Hampton Quartet will be among the prominent attendees. WFBM radio will broadcast nightly programs by representatives of the national association. Simpson A. M. E. Church, 1034 N. Missouri St, will be the site of business sessions.
