This award-winning film documents the DeWolf family's engagement with their legacy of slave-trading ancestors.

Concordian and historian Jayne Gordon will address the life stories and struggle for freedom of early African residents of Concord, as well as the town's leadership in the Abolitionist movement. Local teachers will also speak about their experience teaching related curriculum and how it reaches Concord's students directly.
Come find out how the Drinking Gourd Project is leading an effort to save the Caesar Robbins house, built in 1780 by a freed man and Revolutionary War patriot. The goal is to move the house close to its original location near The North Bridge and restore it as an education
center focused on Concord's African and Abolitionist history. This free event will be held at The Concord Art Association, 37 Lexington Road, Concord, MA.
Watch an interview with Katrina Browne, director of this film and a member of the DeWolf family.
