Philadelphia Lockdown Protest, George Washington Slavery History
Allison McDowell explains her decision to decline a speaking invitation at a Philadelphia lockdown protest due to its "patriot" framing. She notes the protest site's proximity to George Washington’s former home, where he kept nine enslaved people. McDowell argues that opposing current economic restructuring requires acknowledging the historical context of unfree labor and colonial projects.
