Leben
Winton M. Blount wurde am 1. Februar 1921 in Union Springs, Alabama geboren. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs nahm er an einer Ausbildung zum B-29-Pilot in der United States Army Air Forces teil. Allerdings endete der Krieg, bevor seine Ausbildung zu Ende war.
Winton und sein Bruder Houston eröffneten 1946 ein Bauunternehmen mit dem Namen Blount Brothers Corp. Houston schied 1948 aus dem Unternehmen aus. Winton arbeitete bis zu seiner Übernahme eines Regierungsamtes 1969 als President und Chairman weiter in dem Unternehmen, das unter anderem Bauprojekte wie das First Avenue Viaduct in Birmingham, Alabama, den Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans und den Startkomplex 39A in Cape Canaveral, die Startrampe von Apollo 11, durchführte.
Er wurde 1952 zum Alabama Chairman von Citizens for Eisenhower ernannt. Anschließend war er 1960 Southeastern Campaign Chairman von Richard Nixons erfolgloser Präsidentschaftskampagne gegen John F. Kennedy. Danach wurde er zum Präsidenten von Alabamas Handelskammer (engl. Chamber of Commerce) und 1968 von der US-Handelskammer gewählt.
1964 wurde er von Präsident Lyndon B. Johnson in das National Citizens Committee for Community Relations berufen, um das Weiße Haus bei der Durchsetzung des neuen Civil Rights Act von 1964 zu beraten, obwohl er selbst Zweifel an dem neuen Gesetz hatte.
Er wurde 1969 zum US-Postmaster General in der Nixon Administration ernannt und leitete 1971 in seiner neuen Stellung den Übergang des U.S. Post Office Department aus der Kabinettsebene der Regierung zu einer eigenständigen Behörde. Blount war der letzte Postmaster General mit Kabinettsrang und der erste Leiter des U.S. Postal Service.
