POSTPONED  Traces of the Trade Documentary Film – by Katrina Browne

POSTPONED

This event will take place at a later time.  Thank you for your understanding.

TRACE IT! FACE IT! LET’S HEAL OUR COMMUNITY!

First time filmmaker Katrina Browne makes a troubling discovery – her New England ancestors were the largest enslavement trading family in U.S. history. She and nine fellow descendants set off to retrace the Triangle Trade from the family’s historic hometown in Rhode Island to enslavement forts in Ghana to sugar plantation ruins in Cuba. Step-by-step, they answer the vast extent of northern complicity in slavery while also stumbling and stretching their way through the minefield of contemporary race relations.

The film aired nationally in 2008 on PBS’ acclaimed non-fiction series, POV, and is now serving as a catalyst for education, dialogue, and action throughout the U.S. and overseas. Beacon Press has published Tom De Wolfe’s memoir of the journey, Inheriting the Trade. Visit: www.tracesofthetrade.org and www.tracingcenter.org

In addition, all are welcome for an heart-to-heart dialogue on film and a community healing art activity on the following day, Wednesday June 25, from 12:30 – 3:30 PM in Brooks Memorial Library’s Community Room.

Facilitated by: Naima K Wade, Project Director, Teaching Artist of
