Conversation with Sean Yoes
October 14, 2022
We had the honor of having Baltimore journalist and documentary filmmaker Sean Yoes in for our “Conversation with…” this past week. Sean’s roots run deep in West Baltimore and his journalism includes as an editor of the Baltimore Afro-American newspaper as well as work on radio, television and podcasts. He was a frequent presenter and part of our summer youth program through the Environmental Justice Journalism Institute (EJJI).
The students were happy to have him back around the school talking about his life and work. Sean has pledged to come back in monthly, and we are all eager to have him teach us more about Baltimore’s history.
To learn more about Sean’s work check out this short work he produced on the infamous I 70 Highway to Nowhere that cut a deep wound in the Wets Baltimore community. (A full length documentary is planned) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5Jhr0tcy-w
Thank you for your work Sean and for generously sharing your time with us!
