The Hidden History of Slavery in New York: Special Screening and Producer Q&A

Join us for a special screening of the Emmy Award winning documentary The Hidden History of Slavery in New York and a Q&A with producer  Larry Epstein  following the film

​

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. 

​

He is currently a writer/reporter for the River Journal, Peekskill Herald and The Examiner, and also a freelance producer at News 12.  Larry is a former executive producer at MSNBC, and former senior-level producer at the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.
