It is a fact of life that death brings on a great change. The Washington estate is no different. After the death of General Washington, the entire estate of Mount Vernon is turned on its head, given his last wishes. Join Mrs. Washington as she seeks advice from her enslaved woman, Doll, about the great decision ahead and the change it will bring to the entire family.
The program will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Barbara Hamm Lee, Executive Producer and Host of WHRO's Another View, with special guest Dr. Lynn Price Robbins, historian, and scholar for the George Washington Teacher Institute at Mount Vernon.
