 in the Washington area was different. It began the same - in the late 1600
 s - but it soon changed. By the time of the Civil War\, Washington D.C. st
 ill had slaves\, but they lived among a population of free African America
 ns. Author James H. Johnston will discuss this\, and more perspectives on 
 slavery that emerge from his two books\, 'The Recollections of Margaret Lo
 ughborough\,' about a daughter of the Old Dominion of Virginia\, and 'From
  Slave Ship to Harvard\,' which follows six generations of an African Amer
 ican family in Maryland.</p>\n<p>Looking for more fun things&nbsp\;to do a
