Introducing 10 Million Names: Recover. Restore. Remember.

There are at least 44 million descendants of enslaved individuals living today, but slavery separated families, erased names, and obscured facts. Hear from Dr. Vincent Brown, Dr. Kendra Field, and Dr. Kerri Greenidge, members of the 10 Million Names scholars council, as they share histories and legacies of slavery in New England, the ongoing research of the 10 Million Names project, and ways to get involved.  

 
Presented by Kendra T. Field, Kerri Greenidge, and Vincent Brown
