William Blair was a standout in the Negro Baseball Leagues. But his greater contributions have been made as a newspaper publisher, businessman and political kingmaker in the Dallas community. Among his accomplishment was the creating of the largest Martin Luther King Jr. parade in the entire country. He began the event with less than 100 people. Now it attracts a crowd of more than 250,000 each year. It is the largest such tribute to Dr. King in the entire country. Politicians of all colors and backgrounds still seek out William Blair for his advice concerning their attempts for elected office. His closest relationships are with members of the faith community that have made the newspaper he founded, The Elite News, one of the most respected in the entire Southwestern United States.
