Moumin Quazi

Moumin Quazi (M.A., Ph.D.), Stephenville. An English professor at Tarleton State University, he worked to revive the memory and legacy of Milton Brown, regarded as the "Father of Western Swing" music, in his birth- and burial place of Stephenville. Moumin encouraged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to recognize Brown through a proclamation and helped to have Sept. 8 declared Milton Brown Day in Stephenville. At UNT, where Moumin earned a master’s and Ph.D. in English, he occasionally hosted a jazz program on KNTU.
