“The act entitled ‘an act for the release of certain persons held to service or labor in the District of Columbia,’ has this day been approved and signed.” With these life-altering words, written April 16, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in the D.C.
The #AfricanBurialGroundNM would like to thank our high school intern Alyssa for all her hard work this spring. Alyssa came to work with a great attitude and enthusiasm, making her an essential part of our team. Thank you, Alyssa! #matherhs #matherhsnyc #nationalharborpark
