« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Explore the roots of slavery in this three-part NJ PBS documentary, The Price of Silence, at Montclair Public Library! Afterward, we'll be hosting a discussion with the filmmaker, Ridgeley Hutchinson, and Linda Caldwell Epps, a founding partner of the Sankofa Collaborative and a historical consultant on the film.

New 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. The Price of Silence is a Public Media Initiative through The WNET Group. 


The program is co-presented by the Montclair NAACP, the Friends of Howe House, and the League of Women Voters of the Montclair Area
