Clip about US History

I think Ona Judge must be remembered because she was so courageous at that time and decided to obtain her own freedom from the first president of the United States, from the first president's house. Now this house was in Philadelphia. Washington DC had not been built at that time and so she decided that she wanted to have her liberty and she took it. That's bold move. Very bold, very bold. And that's why we know about her. That's what's so interesting. Had she not taken that step, we never would have probably even known her name. She would have been a tick mark on a piece of paper that told how many slaves they had. But because she decided to take her freedom, they put an ad in the newspaper and that advertisement about her, you know, leaving, taking leave of the president's house is how we were able to trace her.
