Tom DeWolf / Belvie Rooks - Denver 2009

Sustainable Healing from the Legacy of Slavery Rooks stood at the infamous "door of no return" at the Elmina slave dungeon in Ghana trying to imagine what reaching this spot must have felt like for some long-ago, African ancestor. Years earlier, DeWolf, a descendent of the largest slave-trading dynasty in U.S. history, stood at that same iron gate imagining a different, yet intimately related feeling. Join DeWolf and Rooks to explore how the historical damage they share is also different and yet, in similar ways, the same.
