Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts: Marian Spencer
Manage episode 367478600 series 2946857

All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Deqah and Vanessa or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://player.fm/legal.
To celebrate Juneteenth, Urbanist Media's Urban Roots podcast has partnered with Cincinnati Public Radio (WVXU) to bring you Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts: weekly, 90-second tributes to people and places important to Cincinnati’s African American history.
Today, for our last short, we feature Marian Spencer, the civil rights activist and Cincinnati pioneer who got her start in 1952. Back then, Ms. Marian Spencer was a mother of two kids who were begging her to let them go to Coney Island.
Ms. Spencer had a hunch they wouldn’t be welcome. She called and the girl on the line said: “I’m sorry, We don’t admit Negroes.” adding “But I don’t make the rules.” Ms. Spencer replied: “I know honey, but I’m going to find out who does.” Ms. Spencer did — and she changed the rules.
Tune in to 91.7 WVXU on Thursdays at 5:49 and 7:50 a.m. during Morning Edition and again at 4:50 p.m. during All Things Considered. Additionally, episodes will air on sister station 90.9 WGUC each Thursday at 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
If you missed the broadcasts, don’t worry – you can find each short on the Urban Roots podcast feed, our Instagram, and YouTube pages.
