History is complex. The reason that history is complex is because people are complex. That includes the history of some of our great leaders, like George Washington. In this episode, we're diving into the story of the enslaved people who lived at Mount Vernon. For more on Mt. Vernon, visit their webpage at mountvernon.org. You can learn more about Mt.
