The Lethe Tanner Was Here podcast, tells the story of a woman born enslaved in 1781 but through self-determination and guile, she frees not only herself but over 18 family and friends from enslavement in Washington DC. Lethe’s resolve and tenacity continued after she attained her freedom as she became an integral figure in supporting educational, religious, and community-based organizations that helped the early Black community in Washington. The podcast is researched, written, produced, sound edited, and narrated by Susan Cook, who is a descendent of Lethe Tanner’s sister, Laurana.
