- In 1839, the revolt of Mende captives aboard a Spanish owned ship causes a major controversy in the United States when the ship is captured off the coast of Long Island. The courts must decide whether the Mende are slaves or legally free.
- Think of New England icons and you probably imagine covered bridges, stone walls, church steeples, and light houses. We visit three less typical but equally iconic treasures. Beginning with the Elms in Newport, Rhode Island where we get a behind the scenes tour from this mansion's caretaker of more than thirty years. Then a trip to Olneyville New York System, a Providence, Rhode Island restaurant where the Stevens family has been serving up their signature Coney Island-style wieners for generations of customers. Last but not least, we visit the glass house in New Canaan, Connecticut. Phillip Johnson's private residence that forever changed architecture in America.
