To receive a free DVD, please send us your request on school, agency, or organization letterhead. The DVD is provided free of charge by a generous partnership with George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, Museum & Gardens.


Through dramatic reenactments students hear the views of Billy Lee, who served as General Washington’s manservant throughout the Revolutionary War; understand the concerns of Caroline Branham and Oney Judge, who worked under Mrs. Washington’s supervision in the mansion; meet Christopher Sheels, who served as General Washington’s manservant after Billy Lee; and discover the ideas of Bob Hemmings, manservant to Thomas Jefferson.

To provide a broader historical context, the human point of view presented by the enslaved men and women in the dramatic scenes is interwoven with interviews from prominent historians and comments from the actor/historical interpreters themselves.

This program is available, free of charge, in our Video on Demand Library. Registration is required for free access to the video.

Time: 45 minutes
