In Traces of the Trade, 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.
The film will be followed by a panel and group discussion.Guest panelists include JerriAnne Boggis of the Black Heritage Trail of NH, and James McKim of the Episcopal Church of NH Reconciliation Commission.
Presented in collaboration with the NH Episcopal Church Reconciliation Commission; the Black Heritage Trail of NH; the UU Church of Nashua; and the Nashua Area Interfaith Council.
