On the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth, let's celebrate the many, many enslaved/indentured people who ran away from George Washington. The only USA president with a greater (inflation-adjusted) net worth than Washington is Trump. The USA has always been a threat to the world.

Most but not all of these people were Black. Many escaped multiple times. Some managed to do it permanently. Names listed twice are not the same people. Names listed together are people who escaped together.
