the French word melange (mixture) and the word melanin: Melangian. Hunt said in 1991 that there is a pain inflicted by the black community on itself, which it fears to communicate openly. She also says that living overseas for most of her life has made her a foreigner in the US. She said, "I'm scared to walk through Harlem... more scared than you, because if I walked through Harlem with the weird shoes and the weird accent, I'd get my butt kicked faster than you. In a way, I'm the betrayer." Hunt is featured in the National Museum of African American History and Culture, a Smithsonian Institution museum in Washington D.C., that opened in 2016 at a ceremony led by then President Barack Obama.
