Christian nationalists want to turn America into a theocracy, a government under biblical rule.

If they gain more power, it could mean fewer rights for you.

I'm Heath Drusen and on the new season of Extremely

American I'll take you inside the movement. Listen to Extremely American

from Boise State Public Radio, part of the NPR Network.

Hey everyone, you're listening to Code Switch. I'm B.A. Parker.

So my family comes from a plantation called Somerset Place.

It's a site that I go past every summer because my folks still have a farm nearby.

They're both in a town called Cresswell, North Carolina. The town's small, about

two hundred and seven people, and a lot of them are descendants of Somerset. My whole

life, I've gone to Cressresswell but I've never had to really engage with the

Somerset Plantation. It wasn't intentional. It's just that you really had to want to

go and who wants to go to a plantation. So today

we're bringing you the first episode in a two-part series from last year where I

ask how do we best honor our enslaved ancestors and

what kind of descendant do I want to be. That's coming up.
