Celebrating, Ona Judge, who was enslaved by George and Martha Washington and who after her escape was one of the only formerly enslaved people to speak openly about her captivity...
They tried to lure her back into slavery as if they were going to treat her better after returning. She wasn't having it. She had a taste of freedom and was smart enough to know that she didn't belong on a plantation.
Bless her heart.
