 f Dorcas Allen\," Dr. Alison Mann will discuss a traumatic event that occ
 urred at 1315 Duke Street in 1837 and its legal implications and aftermat
 h that was the basis of her 2010 doctoral dissertation. In August 1837\, 
 a Georgetown resident sold Dorcas Allen and her four children to James H.
  Birch\, a District of Columbia slave trader. He transported them to the 
 Duke Street pen\, and that evening Allen killed her two youngest children
  and was restrained from harming the others. In October\, she appeared be
 fore the District Court in Alexandria and pleaded not guilty by reason of
  insanity. Her case drew the attention of prominent white men\, such as t
 hen-Congressman John Quincy Adams and District Attorney Francis Scott Key
 \, but remains a story largely unknown. This is story of African American
  agency in the most desperate of circumstances?when an enslaved mother fe
 els death is better for her children than life in bondage. Dr. Alison Man
 n serves as the Historian at the National Museum of American Diplomacy\, 
 U.S. Department of State as a subject matter expert in the field of diplo
 matic history\, 19th century American history\, public history\, and educ
 ation. Proceeds from this event support Freedom House Museum.\n\nPlease n
