About Oswald Durant
Dr. Oswald Durant was one of the first African American doctors in Alexandria. For many years, Dr. Durant could not practice at the local hospital because of segregation. Some patients of color in need of emergency care would show up at his home in the middle of the night to be treated for their injuries.
