Lecture: Coming to terms with a family legacy
Thomas DeWolf, author of Inheriting the Trade: a Northern Family Confronts Its Legacy as the Largest Slave Trading Dynasty in U.S. History, will speak at Bloomsburg University on Monday, Feb. 20, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kehr Union, Multipurpose Room B. The lecture and reading is sponsored by BU's Frederick Douglass Institute and is free and open to the public.
About the book: In 2001, Thomas DeWolf discovered that he was related to the most successful slave-trading family in U.S. history, responsible for transporting at least ten thousand Africans. His memoir follows the journey in which ten family members retraced their ancestors' steps through the notorious triangle trade route — from New England to West Africa to Cuba — and uncovered the hidden history of New England and the other northern states.
