PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (WPVI) Today, it was Michael Idriss job to roll around the discovery cart at the Museum of the American Revolution. For the late 1700s, this is the soap that they would have used, he said to a curious young girl. Idriss was demonstrating the various household objects that may have been used by Ona Judge, a woman enslaved to the family of George Washington.
Judge s story is one of several that are being highlighted by the museum in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is Monday, January 18.
