B.A. Parker had always known about the plantation called Somerset Place, but she had never been. It's where her ancestors had been enslaved, just a short distance from her family's farm.

On a journey to explore what it means to honor her ancestors' legacy, Parker and her mom decide to go back to the plantation where it all began. On the ground her ancestors once walked, Parker asks herself: what kind of descendant does she want to be?

Today on The Sunday Story we bring you the second episode of Code Switch co-host B.A. Parker's two-part series about her journey back to her roots. Listen to the full series on Code Switch.
