Welcome back to Post Pitch.
This week, Features Editor Franziska Wild expands upon the themes of her article: “‘Involuntary founders’: the missing people in Georgetown’s memory work.” This podcast introduces listeners to the largely unseen history of Georgetown’s campus, and serves as one of the many efforts to memorialize the enslaved men, women, and children buried at College Ground cemetery.
