Experiencing Salubria: The History of Slavery in Prince George's County

OXON HILL, MD - JUNE 3: Attendees listen to short speeches at the opening of the Experience Salubria exhibit at the Potomac River Heritage Visitors Center that is housed in the National Harbor's Tanger Outlet Mall on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, in Oxon Hill, MD. The land upon which the outlet mall was built was once part of Oxon Hill and Salubria Plantations that played a significant roll in Prince George's County's slave history. The effort is to highlight a little-known slavery revolt that took place in 1834 in Upper Mallboro. The exhibit is part of the county's plan to boost tourism and attract more tourists-- visiting Mount Vernon and Old Town Alexandria-- across the Potomac River into Prince George's where several plantations and plantation houses are still standing.
