It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela page 5 qLydia Wright Evans 1939 Lydia T. Wright was raised in a home where education was highly valued, her mother a college graduate and teacher, her grandfather, one of the first African-Americans to practice medicine in Cincinnati. After leaving Walnut Hills, Lydia attended University of Cincinnati, Fisk University, and Meharry Medical College. Lydia’s pursuit of quality education for all manifested as she broke racial barriers along her way. Dr. Wright was the first African-American pediatrician in Buffalo. Over her 36-year career, she served her community on the staff of several hospitals and Buffalo’s medical school. Dr. Wright introduced major change in her community’s public school system, as the first African-American on the Buffalo Board of Education. She proposed a foreshadowing of the Magnet School system which desegregated the city’s schools, was an advocate of integration, and was the lone community voice regarding school racial integration. Her honors include first recipient of the Barber G. Conable Award from the Citizen’s Council on Human Relations, The Medgar Evers Award from the NAACP, The Brotherhood Award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews, and Buffalo’s Pediatrician of the Year Award.
