Episode 17: George Washington in Black & White | Kiernan Twyman & W.F. Twyman, Jr.

For our President's Day podcast, George Washington in Black & White,   co-host W.F. Twyman, Jr. and I speak with his distant cousin Kiernan Twyman, a senior in high school in Missouri. These two distant relatives weigh in on their common cousin, George Washington, and his legacy, across generational and racial boundaries in 2021. W.F. Twyman wonders  - can we see beyond slaveholding to appreciate Washington's role in the founding of the United States of America? All discussed with a chaser of civility, of course, and a cherry limeade (with a splash of lime vodka).
