As a child growing up in Maryland where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay, Deanna Mitchell's mother gave her a Harriet Tubman pin. Neither mother nor daughter could know that one day Mitchell would return to the Chesapeake as the National Park Service Superintendent of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park. Join us for this conversation as we learn more about the remarkable life of Harriet Tubman, the Underground Railroad, Black history on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and Mitchell's homecoming.

Cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay is one of the largest and longest running ecosystem restoration efforts in the world. Over the last 50 years, we’ve invested billions to restore the Bay, and the world is watching to see how the Chesapeake responds. Chesapeake Conversations takes an in depth look at what’s working for the Chesapeake, and what’s not.
