Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North, a powerful documentary about the role of New England in the slave trade, will be shown and discussed at All Saints Episcopal Church, 1773 Beacon St., Brookline, at 7:30 on Friday, November 8.
Filmmaker Katrina Browne discovers that her New England ancestors, the DeWolf family were the largest slave-trading family in US history, and with her cousins, visits the sites and history that her family long denied. The discussion will be led by James DeWolf Perry, historical consultant for the film and Executive Director of the Tracing Center on Histories and Legacies of Slavery.
