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.

-Kelli Racine Barnes, Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow at Independence National Historical Park
