EWGS President Pat Bayonne-Johnson meets Georgetown University President John J. DeGioia

On the EWGS Facebook page today was a link from an article by Megan Smolenyak  telling about an article in the Washington Post by Terrance McCoy on the Georgetown University sale of 272 slaves to pay off debts owed by Georgetown University:Link here ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2016/06/17/georgetowns-priests-sold-her-ancestors-into-slavery-heres-how-she-cracked-the-mystery/ )
