Maurizio Valsania, Professor of American History, Università di Torino and a scholar writing a new biography of George Washington, writes, “The Father of His Country would wear his mask in public.”
“Those who wear masks project strength. They show self-awareness, self-control, patience, perseverance and many other Washingtonian virtues.”
“Washington would have definitely worn his mask. He would have done so out of respect for his community, out of respect for those who had suffered and died, and out of respect for all the manly roles he played.”
