The Jefferson-Hemings Controversy
Report of the Scholars Commission
Edited by: Robert F. Turner
Order The Jefferson-Hemmings Controversy 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."
Clay will be discussing these books in future episodes. If you have read the book and have a question or comment about it, please click on "Ask a Question" and send it to us.
