She is a member of the affinity chapter, which is comprised of alumni cheerleaders as far back as 1934. Brunson was a member of then-Tennessee A&I College’s cheerleading squad from 1934-1935. “I was fortunate that I was able to go to A&I,” she said. “It was just a wonderful place to be.” Brunson, a native of Mount Pleasant, Tenn., moved to Chicago for a better education.
