Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts: Intersectionality at the Cotton Club
Manage episode 365557197 series 2946857
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, we’re highlighting the Cotton Club in the West End’s Hotel Sterling. It was not only a mecca of jazz music AND the one place in Cincinnati where Black and white folks could dance, together, until about seven in the morning, it was ALSO a home for black queer performers at a time when most bars and nightclubs denied LGBTQ+ folks.
Find each episode on the Urban Roots podcast feed or 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.
And tune in on the Juneteenth Holiday -- Monday, June 19 at noon and 8 p.m. -- when WVXU will present a one-hour special featuring some episodes from Season 1 of Urban Roots podcast!
Credits: Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts is brought to you by Vanessa Quirk, Deqah Hussein-Wetzel, and Connor Lynch. Special thanks to Queer Cincinnati's Jake Hogue for his help making this episode possible!
