Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North
2008-09 Feinberg Lecture Series: "Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North."
Please join us for a screening of the film and discussion with Holly Fulton and Bill Peebles.
This event is in commemoration of the bicentennial of U.S. abolition of the slave trade.
From the filmmakers: "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."
This event is part of the 2008-09 Feinberg Lecture Series exploring the historical, ethical, legal, and other dimensions of "measuring the value of human life."
