Martha Washington’s enslaved maid Ona Judge made a daring escape to freedom – but the National Park Service has erased her story from Philadelphia exhibit Ona Judge was one of 9 people George Washington owned when he lived in the President’s House in Philadelphia.

When she found out she was about to be ”gifted,” enslaved servant, #OnaJudge, made a dangerous escape from President Washington’s residence. The National Park Service has erased her story—and that of #slavery itself. Read Prof. Welbeck’s powerful essay: theconversation.com/martha-washi...

Nice zine about #OnaJudge and the #PresidentsHouse site at Independence National Historical Park.

I created this #zine about #OnaJudge. The Trump admin instructed NPS employees to remove exhibits at Independence National Historical Park related to slaves owned by Pres. Washington, who went to great lengths to keep his slaves as property, circumventing PA law.

The slavery exhibits at the President’s House have been removed following Trump administration push President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed.

A majority of the signers of the Declaration and nearly half of delegates to the Constitutional Convention enslaved people. 4 of the first 5 presidents were enslavers. The is the truth, but 250 years later there are some snowflakes that can't handle it.

Progress on the Ona Judge Mural: today, artist Manuel Ramirez came and installed the panels for the upcoming mural on our building. The artist sketch becoming a reality grows closer by the day...stay tuned for a time lapse video!
