33:45Now PlayingIn 1986, just before Code Switch co-host B.A. Parker was born, her grandma and mom were part of a homecoming of thousands of descendants of the Somerset Place plantation. Every summer since then, Parker has returned to Creswell, North Carolina, where the plantation is located, and where her family still has a farm. But she's mostly avoided actually going to the site where her ancestors were enslaved.
This week, in the second of two episodes, Parker and her mom decide to go back to the plantation because despite the circumstances of slavery, this is where their family began.
WHAT IS “CODE SWITCH”?
There are a lot of TV shows to watch out there - so the Code Switch team isn't trying to bring you a list of the "best." Instead, we're chatting about the shows we watched this year that we loved, and gave us something bigger to think about, from Abbott Elementary to Bel-Air.
