The questioning of one name that was previously prominent in regards to enslaved Blacks: "George Washington." This clipping piqued my interest because of my previous and current work within Catholic institutions. The Catholic Church would baptize previously enslaved Blacks at the request of the enslaver. Why would someone who has no remorse for enslaving this community turn around and ensure religion was bestowed upon them? For their own righteousness. Through transcribing baptismal records for previously enslaved Blacks, I came across many "George Washingtons." With Presidents Day being this past Monday, the 19th, during Black History Month, I thought it important to highlight that we established this holiday in light of our very first Slave-owning President, George Washington.
