About the event

Washington Remembered, Washington Forgotten: Washington and Slavery
To mark the 250th anniversaries of the American Revolution and the founding of the United States, a coalition of Cambridge non-profits and government agencies will present Washington in American Memory, a seven-part speaker series taking place in-person and online.

Explore how Americans have remembered and forgotten Washington’s involvement with slavery over the past 250 years, featuring:

-Kelli Racine Barnes, Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow at Independence National Historical Park
-John Garrison Marks, author of Thy Will Be Done: George Washington’s Legacy of Slavery and the Fight for American Memory (forthcoming) and Vice President of Research and Engagement at the American Association for State and Local History
-Kyera Singleton, Executive Director of the Royall House & Slave Quarters and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Tufts University Center for the Humanities

This speaker series is made possible through the generous support of America's National Parks, a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service. It is presented in partnership by the National Park Service/Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site, History Cambridge, Cambridge Public Library, Cambridge Historical Commission, and Cambridge MA250.
