Many know Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman’s exodus stories out of bondage in rural Maryland\, but what about the people who stayed? It is from this place and history that Caudell’s story begins. Growing up in the segregated 1960s\, Caudell is the living legacy of the ones who did not run away and of the Free People of Color/Christianized Indians who partnered with their enslaved brethren in a precarious dance of love in Chesapeake Country.\nMore info: https://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/Pages/eastern/tubman.aspx\nActiveBury: https://www.activebury.com/events/8935
