The Price of Silence: Film Screening and Discussion
October 12, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$5
Join Morven for a screening of The Price of Silence, part one of an Emmy-nominated documentary from Truehart Productions sharing the history of New Jersey’s enslaved people. Hear from descendants and historians telling their own stories and exploring why New Jersey was the last northern state to end the institution of slavery; a past Morven and its inhabitants were inextricably tied to.
The screening of the 25-minute documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker and historians featured in the film.
