Nat D. Williams – The Voice That Changed Black Radio 🎙️ Before Memphis became a music powerhouse, before B.B. King hit the stage, there was Nat D. Williams—the voice that changed the game! 🎙️🔥 In 1948, Williams made history as the first Black DJ on WDIA, the first radio station in the U.S. programmed for a Black audience. His show, Tan Town Jubilee, brought rhythm & blues to the airwaves, launching careers and amplifying Black voices like never before. But he was more than a DJ—he was a teacher at Booker T. Washington High, a journalist for the Memphis World, and a true pioneer of Black culture in the South. His legacy lives on in every Memphis beat, every radio wave, and every story told. Salute to a Memphis legend! 🏆🎤 #NatDWilliams #UnapologeticallyMemphis #BlackRadio #WDIA #MemphisHistory
