Dr. Lucy Orinthia Oxley – Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts

We at Urbanist Media (and the Urban Roots podcast) are excited to have, yet again, celebrated Juneteenth with Cincinnati Public Radio.

This year, we produced brand new ⁠Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts⁠: weekly, 90-second tributes to people and places important to Cincinnati Black history and African American history. This one is all about Dr. Lucy Orinthia Oxley….

Dr. Lucy Oxley broke barriers as the first Black graduate of UC’s medical program in 1935, only to be denied internships due to discrimination.

This short dives into Dr. Oxley’s story as a local pioneer in family medicine.
