About The Host

John Piché is an Adult Services Librarian at Heights Libraries. He has over 30 years of experience working in libraries, and an academic background in American History. In 2019, John launched a monthly 1619 Project discussion group at the Library. As the program grew in popularity, he began interviewing scholars on topics relating to the 1619 Project in 2020. He is excited to expand access to those interviews in the Unpacking 1619 podcast.
