SUMMARY:J-Talks Presents: "First Family: George Washington’s Heirs and the Making of America"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Dr. Cassandra A. Good\, author and historianAges: 16+In celebration of President’s Day\, learn the fascinating and little-known story of the children George and Martha Washington raised.

Books will be available for sale at a discounted rate and for author signing. \n\n\n\nFee: Complimentary for all. Donations to JCC Adult Programming are appreciated.  \n\n\n\nAuthor’s Bio: Cassandra Good is Associate Professor of History at Marymount University. She received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and is the author of books\, articles\, and audio courses for both academic and public audiences. Her research has been supported by the Smithsonian Institution\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, and the George Washington Library at Mount Vernon.
