Wow, I watched almost all of the premiere POV episode called Traces of the Trade last night.  I'd recommend it to anyone.  This documentary is about the De Wolf family of Rhode Island, and interviews the contemporary ancestors of this family during their self-exploration about their deep involvement in the slave trade.  Many of these ancestors had never even known that they were decendants of slave traders.  Wow.  How hard harsh is that?!
