Happy President’s Day! Today on Midday, conversations with three groundbreaking chroniclers of African American history who are telling important stories in unique ways.
A little later in the program, Tom speaks with Tara Roberts, a National Geographic Explorer who hosts a podcast devoted to the search for lost slave ships. He'll also speak with Imani Black, a marine biologist and oyster farmer who is bringing people of color into the world of aquaculture.
But we begin today with Evan Woodard. He’s a professional photographer, self-described historian, privy digger, and relic hunter based here in Baltimore who is the founder of a company called Salvage Arc. His discoveries include everything from 18th century pottery to 19th century out houses. Check out images of some of them on his Instagram site, @SalvageArc.
Evan Woodard joins Tom on Zoom from Baltimore.
