About

Sally Hemings is one of the most famous—and least known—African American women in U.S. history. For more than 200 years, her name has been linked to Thomas Jefferson as his “concubine,” obscuring the facts of her life and her identity.The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of Hemings' children is the subject of the Jefferson–Hemings controversy. Following renewed historical analysis in the late 20th century, and a 1998 DNA study (completed in 1999 and published as a report in 2000) that found a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of Hemings' youngest son, Eston Hemings, the Monticello Foundation asserted that Jefferson fathered Eston and likely her other five children as well. However, there are some who disagree. In 2018, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation of Monticello announced its plans to have an exhibit titled Life of Sally Hemings, and affirmed that it was treating as a settled issue that Jefferson was the father of her known children. The exhibit opened in June 2018SALLY HEMINGShttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_HemingsTHE LIFE OF SALLY HEMINGShttps://www.monticello.org/sallyhemings/Thomas Jefferson's Black and white relatives meet each otherhttps://youtu.be/7uCvaTV-L0UNew Monticello Exibit Has picture of whole familyhttps://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/new-monticello-exhibit-takes-closer-look-sally-hemings-slavery-healing-ncna888136CHECK OUT MY OTHER PODCAST A DAY WITH CRIMESPREAKERhttps://www.spreaker.com/show/a-day-with-crime-podcastITUNES AND IOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-day-with-crime-podcast/id1378710724GOOGLE PLAY AND ANDROIDhttps://play.google.com/music/m/Ij5445zg22lvnomustpid6cpth4?t=A_Day_With_Crime_PodcastDON'T FORGET TO RATE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBEJOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIAhttps://www.facebook.com/CenasCorner1101www.twitter.com/cena5401cenascorner11@gmail.comCover Art and Logo created by Jacob VerdajoSound Mixing and editing by David McClamIntro and outro jingle by Keith Cramer
