In this episode of History You Didn't Know But Should, Chris and Ray sit down with historian and author Dr. John Garrison Marks.
George Washington is remembered as the "Father of His Country," but his relationship with slavery remains one of the most debated aspects of his life. In this conversation, Dr. Marks discusses how Washington's views evolved, the decision to free those he enslaved in his will, and the centuries long debate over how Americans have remembered his legacy.
Drawing from his new book, Thy Will Be Done: George Washington's Legacy of Slavery and the Fight for American Memory, Dr. Marks takes us beyond the myths and into the historical evidence surrounding one of the most complex figures in American history.
