Description
"You can't understand Jefferson without understanding slavery; you can't understand the paradox of his life and the words that he wrote in the Declaration of Independence without understanding this historical connection with Sally Hemings and with the enslaved people in general at Monticello." — Niya Bates, Public Historian of Slavery and African American Life at the Thomas Jefferson Foundation A variety of subjects are covered on the Thomas Jefferson Hour this week, including a discussion about Benjamin Franklin Bache's newspaper the Philadelphia Aurora, the effect negative press had on politicians during Jefferson’s time and an interview with Niya Bates about restoration work ongoing at Monticello. You can find a full transcript of our conversation with Niya Bates here. Find this episode, along with further recommended reading, on the blog.
