Oft-overlooked local doctor blazed
trail for black female physicians
BY MOSES JEFFERSON
Let’s hear it for the girls!
Brooklyn Paper Radio
this week took a page
from its sister podcast Power
Women, dedicating its latest
episode to those females whose
contributions to Kings County
truly made it the city’s better
borough.
Co-hosts Anthony Rotunno
and Johnny Kunen recognized
the culmination of another
Women’s History Month by
inviting Brooklyn Historical
Society curator Erin Wuebker
on the show to fi ll them in on
an upcoming exhibition she is
putting together for the cultural
center, which will showcase
the life and legacy of a littleknown
local doctor who blazed
the trail for future female physicians
when she started practicing
in the County of Kings
in the 19th century.
Susan Smith McKinney
Steward — who lived in a
neighborhood locals then
called Weeksville, and now
call Crown Heights — upended
convention by becoming New
York State’s fi rst black female
doctor, and the country’s third,
according to Wubker, who said
history has often failed to give
the pioneering physician the
recognition she deserves.
The 1847-born Steward
treated borough women and
children, a focus Wuebker
said was largely due to societal
conventions of her time.
Her career will be featured as
part of the curator’s forthcoming
“Taking Care of Brooklyn”
exhibition, which will explore
the history of care and public
health in the borough when it
opens at the Historical Society
in May.
But the show didn’t exclusively
spotlight ladies — the
hosts also welcomed a gent
poised to make his own mark
on Kings County as the incoming
editor-in-chief of Brooklyn
Paper, and Schneps Media’s
other local newspapers.
Zach Gewelb, who previously
ran our sister TimesLedger
newspapers published in
Queens, this week took the reins
atop our company’s Brooklyn
editorial operation, succeeding
Rotunno, who gave a heartfelt
thanks to those colleagues, readers,
and listeners who inspired
him during his almost two years
with the borough’s number-one
news source.
To learn more about the Paper’s
future, and the borough’s
medical past, you’ll have to
tune in to the show — which
will, of course, go on under
Gewelb, but may take a week
or two to return to the airwaves
as he settles in.
