Amy Folk, historian of Southold Town on the North Fork of Long Island’s east end, talks about the North Fork Project and its goal of naming all the town’s enslaved people.  Folk describes the process of finding the enslaved as well as their enslavers, considers how Southold’s residents will respond to the project when it is made public and encourages the listening audience to install a town historian if they don’t already have one.  (First broadcast on WPKN on March 2, 2022.)

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
