  • Generational Threads: Fabric Art Archives
    Jun 21 2024

    When babies are expected, a community may gather to offer gifts of care to the parents in the form of quilted, crocheted, or knitted items. In this episode, in expectation of Raina's third child, Aliseo, we talk about the pieces that Dr. Thomas received as a new mother and handed down to Dr. León and then what was created for Raina's children specifically. Do you know where the quilts in your house came from? Ask for (and write down and share) the story!

  • Generational Mysteries: Walter Satterwhite
    Jun 21 2024

    Walter Satterwhite was the grandfather who never was for Dr. Norma D. Thomas. She grew up never knowing him, which meant that she also didn't know that she had an aunt and uncle in New York. What do you do when your ancestors insist on being known? In this case, you follow the story and ask more questions. Learning more took her, her sisters, and eventually her daughter to New York.


    Interview done in November 2023 and episode recorded in March 2024.
