Traces of the Trade: Dinner & Film Discussion
February 2, 6:30-9:00pm
This Thursday, FPCG will host a screening and discussion of the award-winning documentary Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North.
The film documents the journey of ten members of a white New England family as they retrace their ancestors’ roles in the Triangle Trade (i.e., tobacco, rum, slaves), gaining fresh perspectives on modern-day race relations along the way.
We hope you can join us in what promises to be a meaningful experience that engages our congregation in conversations around our own diversity.
Sponsored by NIM, in October 2011 a showing and discussion of this film drew over 100 participants to FPCG. Though few church members were present at that time, we are pleased to again show the film and have its discussion led by Dain and Constance Perry. Dain is a member of the family documented in the film.
Doors open at 6pm. A light supper (suggested donation, $5) will be provided. The film will begin promptly at 6:30pm. Childcare will be provided if requested by Tuesday, January 31. To do so, speak to Christian Heyer-Rivera or call the church at 215-843-8811 and speak to Sally Vaughn.
