In 1938, a little girl was born in Memphis to COGIC giant Bishop A.B. McEwen. That little girl would later become the most celebrated music and choral teacher in the United States; taking young urban black students all over the world to perform. That little girl was Dr. Lulah M. Hedgeman. Little Lulah attended Hamilton High School and subsequently Fisk University. She then accepted a teaching post in Chicago. She later returned to Memphis where she taught Music at sever...al schools; finally landing at Overton High School when Memphis City Schools decided to create a school that focused on the fine arts and performing arts. While at Overton, Dr. Hedgeman was nothing short of brilliant. She trained dozens of students that went on to find fame and fortune in music, theater, and film. Two of those students included the late gospel music Grammy nominee Olanda Draper and actress LaRita Shelby . Both have credited Dr. Hedgeman with giving them the foundation of their crafts and their success. Well when you drive past Mason Temple, COGIC headquarters, in Memphis, Tennessee, there is a street named after Bishop A.B. McEwen, but it was his little girl that touched the lives of talented kids and took them around the world. Today we celebrate Dr. Lulah Hedgeman in this Memphis Black History moment. See more
