The Lost Souls Project is dedicated to identifying the 137 freed and enslaved Black individuals who were illegally trafficked from New Jersey to southern plantations in 1818. Through historical evidence and expert insights, Part 2 of "The Price of Silence" highlights the grassroots movement that exposed how corrupt New Jerseyan officials manipulated state emancipation laws for profit in the 19th century, tearing families apart and shipping human cargo out of the port city of Perth Amboy.

"The Price of Silence" also examines how historical injustices directly connect to New Jersey's modern systemic disparities in housing, wealth, and youth incarceration. Additionally, singer Danielle Cotton shares her deeply personal journey as a Black artist and entertainer.

Discover the stories that built New York City from a Dutch trading post into an iconic global powerhouse. The WNET Group explores defining events—from architectural triumphs and the arrival of the Statue of Liberty to the solemn 25th anniversary of 9/11—uncovering local history through rich archives and the extraordinary people who continue to inspire the future of this world hub.
