Celebrating Dr. Ken Blair – A True Trailblazer
This Black History Month, we honor Dr. Ken Blair, a leader, educator, and community activist whose influence reaches far beyond the classroom. As the inaugural Executive Director of Strategic Initiatives at Wesleyan College, Dr. Blair works tirelessly to inspire and uplift first-generation and low-income minority youth, encouraging them to pursue leadership roles and break barriers.
A proud native of Warrenton, GA, and now a resident of Macon, GA, Dr. Blair has made a lasting impact on both communities. His commitment to service is evident through his roles on various civic boards, including the Macon Transit Authority and Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful. He also serves as Co-Chair of the Mercer University African American Alumni Network and was honored with several prestigious awards, including the 2023 Georgia Trend Magazine's 40 Under 40.
A member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Dr. Blair has held leadership roles in multiple organizations, including the Macon-Middle GA NPHC, where he earned the National Pan-Hellenic Council Outstanding Frater Award. His contributions have earned him recognition from Macon-Bibb County, which proclaimed May 25, 2024, as Dr. Ken Blair Appreciation Day.
Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Blair has worked to honor the legacy of his ancestors. He played a key role in having a local park and street in Warrenton named after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He also helped organize peaceful protests in 2020, advocating for justice for African Americans killed by police brutality.
In addition, Dr. Blair’s commitment to preserving history is reflected in his initiatives like the First African-American Special Exhibit at the Warren County Museum of Cultural Heritage and his role in hosting the inaugural Juneteenth Festival in his hometown.
