Never Caught: The Washingtons’ Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge by Erica Armstrong Dunbar

Dunbar compellingly reconstructs the life of Ona Judge, who fought bravely against her powerful enslavers – George and Martha Washington. Enjoy an intimate look at the museum’s special exhibit – From Sea to Shining Sea: Whalers of the African Diaspora – and discover the surprising role the whaling industry played in carrying people to freedom.
