on January 5, 1926, followed by a segregated theater in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 7, 1926. Hayes taught at Black Mountain College for the 1945 Summer institute where his public concert was, according to Martin Duberman, "one of the great moments in Black Mountain's history". After this concert, in which unsegregated seating went well, the school had its first full-time black student and full-time member of the faculty. Legacy In 1982, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga opened a new musical performance center, the Roland W. Hayes Concert Hall. The concert venue is located at the Dorothy Patten Fine Arts center. The Roland Hayes Committee was formed in 1990 to advocate the induction of Roland Hayes into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. In 1992, when the Calhoun Gordon Arts Council was incorporated, the Roland Hayes Committee became the Roland Hayes Music Guild and Museum in Calhoun, Georgia. The opening was attended by his daughter Afrika. There is a historical marker located on the grounds of Calhoun High School (Calhoun, Georgia) on the north-west corner of the campus near the front of the Calhoun Civic Auditorium. Hartford Stage and City Theatre (Pittsburgh) shared the world premiere of Breath & Imagination by Daniel Beaty, a musical based on the life of Hayes, on January 10, 2013. Part of Georgia State Route 156 was named for Hayes. A bronze plaque, mounted on a granite post, marks Hayes's home, at 58 Allerton Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The plaque was dedicated on June 12, 2016, in a ceremony in front of the home in which Hayes lived for almost fifty years. The ceremony was attended by his daughter Afrika, former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, Brookline Town officials, and many more. A school in Roxbury, Massachusetts is named after him. The Roland Hayes School of Music currently instructs courses for 9-12 grade students of the John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics & Science and shared in the past with Madison Park Technical Vocational High School part of the Boston Public Schools system.
