AudioMo Day 4 - George Washington's President's House

A detour into 2026 with the current actions regarding the President's House in Philadelphia. George Washington had slaves. 

Lots of them. But due to an White House executive order, the exhibit was removed. 

The more interesting story is about Ona Judge. If you would like more info abut Ona, and a more accurate history here is what I have for you:

On the Mount Vernon website is the story about Ona Judge. https://www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/ona-judge 

Shush, don't tell anybody but some of the exhibit is still on the National Parks website. https://www.nps.gov/inde/planyourvisit/presidentshousesite.htm 

And the Encyclopedia of Virginia has more information about his ownership activities. https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/washington-george-and-slavery/ 

AudioMo is an international participation of folks that want to share what they can do with the audio format. 

This is a captioned audio for those folks that are deaf, hearing impaired or English is not their native language.
