As George Washington celebrated his 65th birthday on February 22, 1797, his head chef Hercules Posey planned his escape. Posey, enslaved by the nation’s first president, was famous for the fine meals he prepared for dignitaries at the president’s house in Philadelphia. But to get around Pennsylvania’s abolition law, Washington regularly sent his enslaved workers (including Posey) back to his estate in Mount Vernon, Virginia. Posey used the distraction of this plantation “holiday” to claim his freedom. He made it to New York, where he lived out the rest of his days. #goodblacknewscalendar #washingtonsbirthday #blackhistory #presidentialhistory #americanhistory🇺🇸 https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-eBjpPeAm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
