Per press release, “The Woodens have a rich history in Surry County, tracing back to the 1800s. Karen’s ancestors, who were once enslaved, went to great lengths to purchase the farmland that they now own, when many African Americans worked to rebuild their lives after the Reconstruction Era.”
“We have family land that we could lose, and that’s what I don’t want,” Aunt Val says in the teaser.
Huger shared the teaser on social media, along with the caption “So excited to share the news about our family reunion!
