Local author and journalist Lonnae O'Neal discusses her new book "Bibb Country: Unearthing My Family Secrets of Land, Legacy and Lettuce."

Bibb Country is "mix of memoir, food history, and cultural critique, "Bibb Country" explores what it means to be descended, through enslavement, from a family whose wealth and power helped shape a nation, and confronts the history that echoes through one family’s generations, and, by extension, every generation of America." (Andscape.com). O'Neal traces her family history and connects it to the larger story of American history as well as local Prince George's County.
