film screening: Traces of the Trade, a Story from the Deep North

Concord, MA

Thursday, September 29, 2016, 7PM - 9PM

Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North Film Screening and Interactive Dialogue In the Emmy-nominated documentary Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North (PBS: 2008), filmmaker Katrina Browne discovers that her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She and nine cousins retrace the steps of the Triangle Trade, from Rhode Island to Ghana to Cuba, uncovering the hidden history of the North and gaining powerful new perspectives on the black/white divide. The screening will be followed by an optional dialogue at 8:00 p.m. facilitated by Katrina Browne and Elon Cook, Humanities Director at the Robbins House, an African American historic house in Concord. The dialogue will include simple, accessible interactive exercises that will invite participants to share their reactions to the deep material in the film in a full way - from heart, body, mind and spirit. This program is presented in partnership with the Concord Museum, The Robbins House, and First Parish in Concord. Free; $10 suggested donation. Reserve a space online or call 978-369-9763, ext. 216.
