Event Description

This National Museum of African American History and Culture focuses on a controversial chapter of history: Thomas Jefferson and his slaves. In collaboration with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello, the museum curators looked sharply at the slave families who belonged to Jefferson, the work of his plantation, and the views of the third president.
