While many of us struggle to reconcile our profound love of what Washington did for our nation and that he was a slave owner, I have been deeply moved by how @MountVernon has leaned in to the facts and honors those who were enslaved. #LivesBoundTogether exhibit should be extended https://twitter.com/DrJoeStoltz/status/1268641680061878283
For those interested in learning more, start here and then join one the memorials at the slave cemetery and monument @MountVernon when it reopens. https://www.mountvernon.org/plan-your-visit/calendar/exhibitions/lives-bound-together-slavery-at-george-washington-s-mount-vernon/
When @MountVernon reopens there are daily (twice daily in the busy season) tributes at the Slave Memorial. Be sure to add it as a must do of any visit. https://www.mountvernon.org/plan-your-visit/calendar/events/tribute-at-the-slave-memorial/
