A young, courageous African American woman risked it all to gain freedom from America’s First Family in the late 18th century. Ona, or “Oney,” Judge escaped George Washington’s Philadelphia mansion after years of serving as a seamstress for the famous founding father. There’s little written about Judge. Historian Erica Armstrong Dunbar stumbled on Judge’s story by chance when she discovered a runaway slave advertisement. “I remember sitting back and saying, ‘Who is this Ona Judge and why don’t I know her?’” Dunbar went on to write Never Caught: The Washingtons’ Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge. In this episode she speaks with Michele Norris, founder of The Race Card Project and executive director of The Bridge at the Aspen Institute, about what Judge’s story can teach us about racial injustice and gender inequality.

This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

In this episode, the lovely Gina Marie joins the show for the first time this year.  In a rewarding, yet surreal experience, Gina was recognized for the first time in public by one of her readers.  Gina and I discuss the series of events that led up to that ego-stroking moment as well as the importance of filtering out all the noise and JUST STAY FOCUSED!

Her book, The Letters In The Old House @GsellsSeaShells and www.GsellsSeashells.com has been in numerous brick & mortar book stores in the Central/South Jersey area.  This is this goal-driven author's story.
