Description

S1E3 - Between presidents, we will be discussing a person, place, or event related to the presidents. Think of it like the supplemental material at the end of a chapter in your U.S. History textbook. This episode, we discuss the life of Ona Judge, who escaped enslavement under the Washingtons and was pursued by them for years.
