"Traces of the Trade" film screening

Our final screening of the award-winning documentary, "Traces of the Trade" hosted by Follen Community Church -- come join us!

Explore the many issues as the RI-based DeWolf Family reluctantly retraces its forebears steps as one of the largest US slave-traders. This thought-provoking film has been the basis of stimulating conversations this spring in Lexington, the last of which will occur during Jay Kaufman's Open House Forum on May 19th (Lex. Depot). Many issues at the root of today's difficult race relations are slowly peeled back during the film, and leave viewers wondering about their own family's past.

Come see the film on May 12th, and join the conversation with others at Rep. Kaufman's Open House on May 19th.
