“Forgetting to Remember” was an 18-month collaboration between Sag Harbor Cinema and the Plain Sight Project, made possible by a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding, sponsored by U.S. Senator Hon. Charles E. Schumer.
This collaborative endeavor expands the vital work of the Plain Sight Project, which aims to unearth the identities and stories of enslaved, indentured, and free people of color on the East End of Long Island, into the Sag Harbor region.
