Description

In the summer of 1979, Director of the Meek-Eaton Black Archives Research Center and Museum, James Eaton, discovered Spike Lee’s grandfather was a graduate of Florida A&M and served as the second bandmaster in the early 1920s. After Eaton shared this with him, Lee returned to FAMU to give an address to students.
