Video Documentary:
"THEN I'LL BE FREE TO TRAVEL HOME" traces the historical arc of the long African-American battle against northern slavery and for full, first-class citizenship. It chronicles the contributions the original Africans who founded the New York African Burial ground - and their descendants - made to the survival and development of New York and the nation from the 1600s to the New York City Draft Riots of 1863.
It is also a history of larger-than-life "freedom fighters" on many levels and of many races, who challenged slavery to change the course of this nation from its earliest Colonial days. This is that story as it unfolded in the northeastern part of what would eventually become the United States of America.
