In this episode, we speak with Piatt researcher Sean E. Andres. A secondary educator and marketing expert by training, Sean specializes in public history projects, with a particular focus on historically marginalized populations in the Cincinnati area. Sean talks about how he initially found Sarah, compelled by her work speaking out against social norms of her time. He reflects on connections between her poems and the deep history of Cincinnati and surrounding lands, where Sarah and her husband J.J. long made their family home, and about the practicalities and challenges of conducting original archival research.
