"Washington Square originally was known as Southeast Square until the city renamed it after George Washington in 1825. But long before that, the square was dubbed "Congo Square" by the city's slaves and free blacks who sought to hold onto their West African heritage." #blackhistory #philadelphia https://www.phillyvoice.com/washington-square-mass-graves-/
