In this episode, we delve into Lori Ginzberg's newest book, "Tangled Journeys: One Family's Story and the Making of American History." Ginzberg unravels the complex history of the Cogdell-Sanders family, a story spanning generations and intertwining slavery, freedom, and the tangled web of history. From the forced enslavement of Sarah Martha Sanders in Charleston to her family's unexpected rise in Philadelphia, this episode explores the hidden narratives and challenges us to confront the complexities of our past.
