Hudson Valley Sojourner

The Cragsmoor Historical Society hosts author Debra Bruno to discuss her book, A Hudson Valley Reckoning: Discovering the Forgotten History of Slaveholding in My Dutch American Family.

When author Debra Bruno uncovered the painful truth that her Dutch American ancestors had been slaveholders, it set her on a powerful journey—one that led her to research their past, confront a buried legacy, and ultimately forge an unexpected friendship with a descendant of an enslaved woman once owned by her family.
