Giving Thanks

Angela O’Neal from the Columbus Metropolitan Library shares the story behind a photo of a family who immigrated to Columbus after World War II, as they sit at the table during their first Thanksgiving.

The photo is only one of over 20,000 photos, documents, maps, and videos in the library’s vast collection.

Ohio Snapshots In Time digs into Ohio history one image at a time. WOSU Public Media produces the series in partnership with the staff of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.
