SUMMARY:"The Price of Silence" Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NJCH has proudly supported the development of the NJ PBS documentary series The Price of Silence\, which explores the roots of slavery\, with multiple grant awards. \nPart three of the series will premiere on on NJ PBS at 8 p.m. on February 19. \nThe filmmakers also will hold a special screening and discussion of the series\, including the new installment\, on February 22 at Montclair Public Library. The discussion will feature filmmaker Ridgeley Hutchinson and Linda Caldwell Epps\, a founding partner of the Sankofa Collaborative and a historical consultant on the film. \nAbout the film \nNew Jersey\, the Garden State\, is known for its produce\, but not for the enslaved people who tilled the soil. In this three-part documentary series\, which was originally created for and broadcast on NJ PBS\, descendants and historians tell their stories and why it was the last northern state to end the institution of slavery\, and how NJ’s history affected those who came here in the Great Migration. Each episode is 28 minutes long\, and there will be a 5-minute intermission after the second episode. \nThe Price of Silence is a Public Media Initiative through The WNET Group. \nThis program is co-presented by the Montclair NAACP\, the Montclair History Center\, the Friends of Howe House\, the UU Undoing Racism Team\, and the League of Women Voters of the Montclair Area. \nRegistration \nThe event is free to attend\, but registration is required through Montclair Public Library’s Adult School. \nClick here to register
