We had a beautiful day in Brooklyn at the Tribute to the Ancestors of the Middle Passage. I enjoyed speaking to folks and hearing the reasons why people came, or have been coming to the gathering and the stories behind their ancestral loved ones. Here are a few portraits from our afternoon on the shore.
