The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of DeKalb presents

TRACES OF THE TRADE
A feature documentary produced and directed by Katrina Browne

Sunday, February 28
12 Noon – 3:00 p.m. Movie, Luncheon, and Discussion
158 North Fourth Street, DeKalb, IL

Open to the public
A free-will offering will be collected to assist with costs for the luncheon and event.

Katrina Browne, producer and director, discovers that her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Browne’s family members confront questions that apply to all of us:

• 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?
• How does Northern complicity change the equation?
• What would repair—spiritual and material—really look like and what would it take?
• 
  

Elizabeth Harding will lead the discussion at UUFD following the luncheon.
The Rev. Elizabeth Harding graduated from Meadville Lombard Theological School in 2006; she also holds a degree from the University of Chicago/SSA. Elizabeth is a member of ARE, Allies for Racial Equity, the white person's lay and ministry-led partner organization to DRUUMM. She has presented the movie and led discussions at several churches.
