SOCM and Highlander Center present
FREE! Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North
Join Statewide Organizing for Community eMpowerment and the Highlander Center for a FREE screening of this eye-opening, deeply personal documentary about how modern perspectives on the transatlantic slave trade can and must continue to invite examination.
Producer/director Katrina Browne tells the story of her forefathers, the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Given the myth that the South is solely responsible for slavery, viewers will be surprised to learn that Browne’s ancestors were Northerners. The film follows Browne and nine fellow family members on a remarkable journey which brings them face-to-face with the history and legacy of New England’s hidden enterprise.
“Browne’s clear-headed film represents an intense and searing call for national dialogue.” – Hollywood Reporter
