Sally Hemings | 
pickI enjoyed this inside view into the life of the mysterious Sally Hemings. She was kept a secret then, and she is still in the shadows of American History today. In these pages, we get a glimpse of what her life might have been like. She was Thomas Jefferson‘s misogynoir. She was an enslaved, Black woman. She was Sally Hemings.
Aimeesue We toured Monticello a few years ago when my daughter was looking at colleges. They had just started doing a tour centering the lives of the enslaved people who lived there. It was a humbling experience. My favorite part was when the tour guide ripped a tourist a new one for saying “But TJ was a GOOD slave owner, right?” No, dude, there were no “good” ones. 3w

JenniferEgnor @Aimeesue I‘m so glad they held that tourist accountable! I mean, under what circumstances would you be okay with someone owning you or someone you love???!!! 3w
