“Traces of the Trade,” an award-winning documentary about New England’s connection to slavery, will be screened as part of an online event at Trinity Episcopal Church in Southport, Sunday, Jan. 10. It was produced/directed by Katrina Browne, whose Rhode Island ancestors, the DeWolfs, were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Browne is seen here visiting Linden Place in Bristol, R.I. The mansion was built in 1810 by seafaring slave trader Gen. George DeWolf, and currently operates as a house museum.Alla Kovgan / Contributed photoShow MoreShow Less
