Hidden History of Slavery in New York with Larry Epstein

With debate intensifying over how slavery is taught in schools, high school student Richard French IV set out to uncover New York City’s hidden role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Hidden History of Slavery in New York is a powerful 30-minute documentary for broadcast television that shines a light on a largely untold chapter of American history—one rarely covered in textbooks. A Q&A with producer Larry Epstein follows the film. A two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and producer, Larry has held senior roles at MSNBC, Fox News, and Fox Business, and currently writes for the River Journal, Peekskill Herald, and The Examiner, while freelancing as a producer at News 12.
