By His Side: The story of George Washington and his enslaved valet William Lee

Presented by Jinny Berten

In this lecture, Jinny Berten will discuss the research behind her novel By His Side, which considers the relationship between George Washington and William Lee, the last three days of Washington’s life, his changing views on slavery, and the concerns those enslaved at Mount Vernon had for Washington’s last will and testament.

This lecture will be held in person and via Zoom.
