Memphis, TN – Blair T. Hunt is probably best remembered for being the principal of Booker T. Washington High School for twenty-four years, or for his 52 years of service as the pastor of Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church. What many do not know is that Hunt worked behind the scenes on behalf of equality efforts for African Americans in Memphis. He spent his life trying to improve Memphis, and was a founding member of the Memphis Urban League and the "Negro YMCA."
Memphis Moments is co-produced by the Pink Palace Family of Museums (http://www.memphismuseums.org) and WKNO-FM and airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays during All Things Considered on the WKNO Stations.
