With a debate raging in the US about what should and shouldn’t be taught about slavery in schools, high school student Richard French IV wanted to learn more about New York City’s prominent and largely untold role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. ‘The Hidden History of Slavery in New York’ is a 30-minute documentary for broadcast television, that digs deeply into an infamous chapter in our country that hasn’t made its way into the history books.
Host/Producer Richard French IV set out to study the issue and educate others, after he read the 1619 Project, and went on a tour of slavery sites in New York City.
The Hidden History of Slavery in New York” won an award at the 67th annual NY Emmy Awards last year.
