Explorer Tara Roberts is a storyteller on a mission to find and document shipwrecks. But she isn’t searching for pirate treasure: instead she’s hoping to find and understand the wreckage from sunken slave ships. Her work humanizes the story of the slave trade and brings important stories back to the surface for us. This event is recommended for ages 4-8 and was streamed live on Monday, 2/22/2021 at 11 AM Eastern Time.
