READ THIS SIDE: In her twenties, with dark hair, light skin, and freckles, she was a mulatto, the daughter of a black woman from Virginia and a white Englishman. She walked quickly, alone but unafraid. The sight of a young mixed-race or black woman but herself on the streets of Philadelphia in 1796 was not unusual. Philadelphia was a prosperous place of broad, paved streets, well-tended homes, and large brick buildings. As she walked, the young ladies maid passed the site where the Declaration of Independence had been written and adopted twenty years earlier. She was about the same age as the United States of America. KNOW TELL ME SOME WONDERING.
