In Show 955, "Poverty and Freedom", Prompted by a letter from listener Rachel Wright, President Jefferson speaks about the relationship between freedom in America and the actual freedom available to those who suffer poverty, and explains his belief that America needs to include a plan for equal opportunity and guard against a limited few controlling the wealth of nations.
The Jefferson-Hemings Controversy
Report of the Scholars Commission
Edited by: Robert F. Turner
Order directly from:
"In 2000, the newly formed Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society asked a group of more than a dozen senior scholars from across the country to carefully examine all of the evidence for and against the allegations that Thomas Jefferson fathered one or more children by Sally Hemings, one of his slaves, and to issue a public report. In April 2001, after a year of study, the Scholars Commission issued the most detailed report to date on the issue."
