In June 1833, as an infant, Mary Ann Shiner and her siblings and mother were stolen from near the Navy Yard and taken to the slave market in Alexandria for sale. Mary Ann's father, Michael Shiner, recorded this event and the eventual release of his family in his diary, now in the Library of Congress. Image: Library of Congress
