Listen "Is it ok to call her Aunt Mary?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we'll dig into a question we received in several different forms -- "Is it ok to call her Aunt Mary?" which visitors have asked about Mary Williams, a black woman working at the Cottage as a cook. Come exploring with us as we talk with two historians of the African-American experience in DC during the Civil War, an art curator, a literature scholar, and the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience as we search for answers. www.lincolncottage.org Hosted on Acast.
