    ENCOUNTERING SLAVERY AND RACE IN NEW ENGLAND Traces of the Trade: A Story From the Deep North In this award-winning documentary, filmmaker Katrina Browne discovers that her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She and nine cousins retrace the Triangle Trade and gain a powerful new perspective on issues of race and power in America. Discussion following the film will be led by James DeWolf Perry, Newton resident, film participant, and direct descendant of the 18th-century slave-trading family. This is the first program in a series spoonsered by Historic Newton and presented by the Newton Human Rights Commission, co-sponsored by the Newton Cultural Center, with funding from the Foundation for Racial, Ethnic & Religious Harmony. Free. At the Boston College Law School, Stuart House, Room 315, Centre Street, Newton.
