Together we’ll watch and discuss The Hidden History of Slavery in New York, a 30-minute documentary that digs deeply into an infamous chapter in our country that largely hasn’t made its way into the history books. Featuring Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, we learn how the Transatlantic slave trade was centered in the north, not the south, in the 17th and 18th century —with New Amsterdam as its epicenter—and Wall Street as its largest slave market.

With a debate raging in the US about what should and shouldn’t be taught about slavery, this film is as important and timely as ever and a fitting beginning to Black History Month.
