Slave Monument Plans Stumble
(AP) - Some black leaders and
scholars are accusing the National
Park Service o f dragging its feet on
a congressional order tocornmemo-
rate slaves kept by George W ash
ington at the first presidential man
sion in Philadelphia.
The site just steps from the Lib
erty Bell would be the first federal
memorial to slavery in the nation.
“ We have to tell the truth,
whether it hurts or not,” said Charles
MMBMMMNBMMMM
Blockson, a curator o f African
American artifacts at Tem ple Uni
versity. “In thecity o f Philadelphia,
it’s never been told.”
P ark S u p e rin te n d e n t M ary
Bom ar said the delays have been
caused in part by disagreem ent
am ong historians over the exact
lo catio n w here W a s h in g to n 's
slaves once lived, as well as a lack
o f funding.
“W e’re not sweeping anything
under the rug.” she said. “Notl
would suit me better than to m
forward on this project.”
Some park officials had resi:
the argument that slaves and w
servants used to live on the spe
front o f the Liberty Bell Cen
which is now a wide sidewalk all
Market Street. Bomar said hers
finally agreed on the location of
slave quarters following a for
last month.
