DESCRIPTION:In Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North, first-time filmmaker 
 Katrina Browne makes a troubling discovery - her New England ancestors were 
 the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She and nine fellow 
 descendants set out to retrace the Triangle Trade: from their old hometown 
 in Rhode Island to slave forts in Ghana, and sugar plantation ruins in 
 Cuba. Step by step, they uncover the vast extent of Northern complicity in 
 slavery while also stumbling through the minefield of contemporary race 
 relations. Traces of the Trade offers powerful new perspectives on the 
 black/white divide.\n\nThe issues the DeWolf descendants are confronted 
 with dramatize questions that apply to the nation as a whole: What, 
 concretely, is the legacy of slavery—for diverse whites, for diverse 
 blacks, for diverse others? Who owes who what for the sins of the fathers 
 of this country? What history do we inherit as individuals and as 
 citizens?\n\nHolly Fulton and William Peebles will present the documentary 
 and facilitate dialogue after the screening.\n\nHolly Fulton, 53, is one of 
 the 10 DeWolf descendants in the documentary. She grew up in Rhode Island 
 and has an MA in Teaching and an MA in Psychology. Holly has been a French 
 & ESL teacher and a diversity trainer. She lives in Concord, CA, and gives 
 presentations & facilitates discussions as outreach for Traces of the 
 Trade. Holly is also an active member of the Coming to the Table community 
 program which is addressing the legacies of slavery in the United States. 
 She is CTTT’s chair of the Youth Committee. E-mail Holly at 
 hfulton@tracesofthetrade.org.\n\nWilliam M. Peebles (Bill) is retired from 
 a career as a psychotherapist and a pastor. He is a Spiritual Director for 
 those on a spiritual path, particularly men. He’s interested in the Be 
 Present model, Faith and Money Network and Harvest Time, growing organic 
 food, singing, and continuing to work at eliminating the “isms” that 
 harm us all. He and his wife Holly have been facilitating discussions of 
 the film in New England and in the San Francisco Bay Area over the past 2 
 years. E-mail Bill at bpeebles@tracesofthetrade.org\n
