NYACK: Nyack Library, The Hidden History of Slavery in New York

February 7th

With a debate raging in the US about what should and shouldn’t be taught about slavery in schools, high school student Richard French IV wanted to learn more about New York City’s prominent and largely untold role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. ‘The Hidden History of Slavery in New York’ is a 30-minute documentary for broadcast television, that digs deeply into an infamous chapter in our country that largely hasn’t made its way into the history books. The film features Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. He explains 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. Larry Epstein is a two-time Emmy award-winning documentary and news producer, journalist, writer, anchor and corporate copywriter. Larry is a former executive producer at MSNBC, and former senior-level producer at the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.
