Last night at the Impact Hub, 2015 OSI Community Fellow JC Faulk held an event to screen a 15-minute preview of “400,” a film he is working on with his 24-year-old daughter that combines their personal stories with the history of the transatlantic slave trade and the first Africans kidnapped and bought to the Jamestown settlement in 1619, 400 years ago. The short film documented Faulk and his daughter’s trips to the Jamestown settlement, a Louisiana plantation, and Ghana. Photographs from Faulk’s travels were on display.
The event was part of the Circles of Voices series of events, which bring people together to talk about race and racism, that Faulk launched with his Fellowship.
