Entangled Lives: Slavery at George Washington's Mount Vernon

The fifth-largest slave owner in Virginia by the late 1780s, George Washington constantly struggled with the tangled web of slavery despite his personal desires to eliminate it from his life. In this lecture illuminating the lived experience of slavery, Philip Morgan shares the ways in which master and slaves, whites and blacks, interacted at Washington's Mount Vernon plantation with special focus on the workplace, families and resistance. Morgan is the Harry C. Black Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University and one of the leading specialists on the history of the Atlantic world.
This program is presented in celebration of African-American History Month by the Homewood Museum, a National Historic Landmark that was the former country retreat and slave-holding farm of the Carroll family in the early decades of the nineteenth century. The museum is situated on the Johns Hopkins University campus.
