Today, filmmaker Katrina Browne is the author of a commentary on CNN.com, entitled “Slavery needs more than an apology.”
In this opinion essay, Katrina writes about the significance of the U.S. Senate apology for slavery and discrimination, and offers her thoughts, as a descendant of U.S. slave traders, about what comes next.

MANAGERS AND PROGRAM SPECIALISTS SOUGHT
Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North is an Emmy-nominated documentary film which has become the basis for outreach efforts focused on advancing the cause of racial justice and reconciliation and expanding understanding of the history and legacy of the North’s role in slavery. Thanks to a recent major grant, we are in a position to expand our work beyond the first-year of release, to pursue more systemic institutional impacts.
The various positions/function areas described below are not full-time. We list them all together here with the hope that applicants might be interested in, and capable of, filling various roles— possibly combining small part-time positions in such a way as to create fuller part-time positions, or a full-time position. For example, the Program Director role could be combined with the Training Coordinator position for a 20-30 hr/wk position. We are also open to applicants who are only interested in one position. We hope that these positions will grow with more funding.
To Apply: Please submit a cover letter, resume, three references, and a writing sample to Madeline McNeely at human.resources@tracesofthetrade.org. When emailing, please put in subject line: Candidate – last name, first name (such as “Candidate – Jones, Julia”).
Deadline: The preferred application deadline for these positions is September 1, 2009. After that date please send an email to Madeline McNeely at human.resources@tracesofthetrade.org to see if positions might still be available.
