This month we’re celebrating black history month by showcasing the first black veterinarian, Augustus Nathaniel Lushington. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1897.

Dr. Lushington moved to the United States from Trinidad when he was 20 years old. He settled in New York, where he married Elizabeth Gavino Hubert, whose friends helped Dr. Lushington enroll in Cornell University. He graduated with a degree in agriculture in 1894, before enrolling at the University of Pennsylvania to earn his DVM.

After graduating, Dr. Lushington moved his family to Rock Castle, Virginia, to work at the Agricultural College, before he went on to open his own practice in Lynchburg. The intense racism, however, forced him to work extra jobs as a meat inspector and probation officer.

Dr. Lushington persevered, and he would go on to work for the Bureau of Animal Industry and the Federal Department of Agriculture. Dr. Lushington worked until his death in 1939.
