Cary Sudler is descended from a slave-holding plantation family.  He discovered that he shares the Sudler name with both black and white families in the area around the old plantation.  Sudler went back to apologize to the black Sudlers and talk about the family’s history with as many of his relatives as he could find.  Their reactions are powerful, fascinating and disturbing. Sudler lives in Los Angeles and continues to work on his family’s history.
