George Washington was not an anti-racist in the way we use the term today. He wasn’t even close. Washington believed, with the other founders of the United States of America, that white British men had a right and a responsibility to manage the society. So, how can Americans in the 21st century, who dream of America becoming a nation without racism, celebrate the life of George Washington on his birthday?
Presidents’ Day, also known as Washington's Birthday, has its origins in the celebration of George Washington's birthday. As a cultural observance, it carries implications that can contribute to the wider challenge of ending racism and inequality in the United States.
