Oney Judge Day Printing

Ona Judge Staines, also known as Oney Judge, was born into slavery in George Washington’s Mt. Vernon plantation in 1773, and escaped slavery from Washington’s Philadelphia household in 1796. Despite a massive effort on the part of Washington, she was never recaptured. Her story reminds us to question whose stories should be centered as inspirational examples of the early American fight for liberty and freedom. All are invited to stop by the Common Press to print a commemorative piece on this important day in Philadelphia history. Register to attend.
