LIBERTY BELL
+ SLAVERY
= GEORGE WASHINGTON
- Did you know that George Washington held hundreds of Africans and African descendants in brutal bondage as slaves?
- Did you know that he held at least nine of them at America's first "White House," which was right here in Philadelphia at the site of the new Liberty Bell Center at 6th & Market?
- Did you know that he even held some of those nine in the slave quarters, which was just a few feet from the main entrance to that Liberty Bell Center?
