Join Elizabeth as she once again examines the stories of three people buried in a cemetery in the Atlanta metro area. Second-sight, sharecropping, and a street called Auburn Avenue provide context for the lives of those resting at Washington Park Cemetery many of whom were descendants of slaves.

This was an intriguing and insightful podcast! I never expected it to unfold into the journey of US History and African American Studies. You left me with an insatiable hunger to learn more about the seer,Toby Grant. I'm curious about verified accounts in which her gifts were witnessed and accounted for. I am also left wondering why if she could see the future, why didn't she intervene in the death of her two sons? I know I am a long way from the focus point, but this is one thing I love most about history. Your focus can evolve as your research increases. What an amazing podcast! 6/20/2019 12:33:12 pm

I live in the Washington Park Subdivision and I am very well associated with the remaining residents that have a lot have history and knowledge of the community history. I, along with a few new residents in the community are working towards historical preservation and park grants to not only honor the legacy of Tobie Grant but of all African Americans that contributed to the development of our neighborhood. I can also not believe how little is known of what occurred here and how it has not been given more attention. I’d love the opportunity to connect and share notes as we begin to write our grant request.
