Oxford Ohio Black History Audio Tour
Oxford, Ohio’s Black community has a rich and important history. It is through this self-guided tour that we aim to keep alive the memories of the brave Oxford citizens who fought for their right to occupy public spaces and who flourished in their passions despite systemic racism. We honor the lives and legacies of those who never faltered in demanding justice. We celebrate and gain inspiration from the accomplishments of Oxford’s Black community, then and now. The driving tour takes roughly an hour to complete. This audio tour is based on the self-guided tour booklet and can be used on its own, or paired with the tour booklet. For a free physical copy of this self-guided tour booklet (which includes historical images and map), please visit the Enjoy Oxford office at 14 W. Park Place, Suite C, or email info@enjoyoxford.org to have a copy mailed to you. For a PDF of the self-guided tour booklet, visit enjoyOxford.org/black-history
