Silent no longer | A proper burial

The day before the Fourth of July, members of Avenging the Ancestors Coalition (A.T.A.C.) held a mock funeral for George Washington's nine slaves near the President's House dig at Sixth and Market Streets. Nine children eulogized each of the slaves, and nine coffins - each bearing the name of a slave - were set up.
