About this event
Join us for an informative presentation by historian and lawyer Jim Johnston, author of “From Slave Ship to Harvard: Yarrow Mamout and the History of an African American Family”, about a former enslaved African entrepreneur and property owner in Georgetown. Johnston's work details the little-known but fascinating life of Yarrow Mamout, a man who came to Maryland on a slave ship, won his freedom and became perhaps the most prominent African American in Washington in the early 1800s.
