Tell Me About Your Father: Natalie Cash Petersson

Erin and Elizabeth talk to Natalie Cash Petersson, a New York City-based film producer, about the incredible success stories of her maternal grandfather, Dr. David Griffin, and his brother, her great uncle, Dr. Joseph Howard Griffin. Joseph Howard, who went by JH, and David were sons of an enslaved father who became trailblazing physicians in South Georgia, both prosperous and celebrated members of their communities during the sustained racial terror of Jim Crow. Petersson reflects on their legacy and her pride for the work they did, particularly for women. Get full access to Tell Me About Your Father at tellmeaboutyourfather.substack.com/subscribe
