Today in Black History, you should know:
1799 
1st President of the U.S., George Washington, dies. At the time of his death he had acquired over 300 slaves to work and maintain his estate at Mount Vernon. In his will, all of his slaves are to be freed upon his wife's death. Whether this truly happened...it's highly unlikely.

As President, Washington brought nine household slaves to the Executive Mansion in Philadelphia. By Pennsylvania law, slaves who resided in the state became legally free after six months. Washington rotated his household slaves between Mount Vernon and Philadelphia so that they did not earn their freedom, a scheme he attempted to keep hidden from his slaves and the public and one which was, in fact, against the law.(cited Wikipedia entry: George Washington)
