In the TellingAuthor: Nomadic Archivists Project
If we are fortunate, we learn our past from those who lived it. Oftentimes, it is by our own efforts and labor to uncover pieces of truth about our family history. This is what we will explore in this bi-monthly podcast, people sharing stories about their families and how they came to learn to them.

From Plantation Roads to Seven Streets: Land, Faith, and Family
Episode 38
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
This episode of In The Telling (Season 5, Episode 38) traces one Black family’s journey in rural Louisiana through memory, labor, and inheritance. In this episode, Erin Scott shares stories of her 90-year-old grandfather—a carpenter, preacher, and community builder—whose life bridges sharecropping, segregation, and land ownership. From walking miles to a one-room schoolhouse to building homes brick by brick, Erin reflects on how land, church, and self-sufficiency shaped her family’s survival and sense of belonging. This conversation explores how history lives in houses, gardens, and Sunday rituals—and how telling these stories becomes a way of keeping Black memory alive across generations.📺 Watch the Full Conversation on YouTube!We’ve launched our Nomadic Archivists Project YouTube channel—watch this episode in living color!
