A historical marker in Warren County, Kentucky, honors the life and achievements of the African-American entertainer and songwriter Ernest Hogan. Born Reuben Crowdus on April 17, 1865, in the Shake Rag district of Bowling Green, he is most well known for being the "Father of Ragtime"—writing and publishing the first ragtime song, "La Pas Ma La," in 1895. Hogan was the first African-American to produce and star in a Broadway show, 1907’s "The Oyster Man." The historical marker honoring him was sponsored by a local Bowling Green band, Skip Bond and the Fugitives.
