5. Ben’s 10: Interrupted Connection

On a biting cold mid-January day it’s a homecoming with no home. Harriet Tubman descendent, Douglas Mitchell, retraces Harriet’s footsteps along the wetland path of Dorchester County, Md. that his great-great-grand-aunt at one time traveled daily. This exact same path leads to the archaeological site of the Ben Ross Homeplace known as Ben’s 10. Douglas leads Tony on a rare opportunity to connect with what’s left of Harriet’s landscape.
