Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd U.S president—also a racist, sociopathic rapist. In 2017, archaeologists uncovered Sally Hemings’ room in Jefferson’s Monticello. Her tiny windowless underground cell had a low ceiling and damp walls. It was accessible ONLY via Jefferson’s bedroom..

Receipts, always

@JohnathanPerk So if Sally was the daughter of Jefferson’s father in law… she was a sister to his wife, right? Half sister?

@SwampSayWhat Yes.

@JohnathanPerk Daily Mail is usually that pathetic. And categorized sa as a..."relationship ".

@JohnathanPerk Guilty as charged. Reread some of my responses from yesterday. I apologize for misspelling her name. As you say, it's the least I can do to honor and respect her to learn the correct spelling. Will definitely double check from here on out.

@JohnathanPerk You are expecting far too much from the Daily Mail. They are the most useless of publications.

@JohnathanPerk Maybe we don't know HOW to spell it!

@JohnathanPerk And she was his wife’s 1/2 sister.

@JohnathanPerk I was just reading about her brother yesterday, who was trained as a chef in Paris & bilingual.

@JohnathanPerk What do you mean?

@JohnathanPerk One of the commenters said that “he kept his kids enslaved, because he knew what would happen to them once freed.” Like seriously? 🤦🏾‍♀️

@JohnathanPerk how did her story end again?

@JohnathanPerk and what happened to the children? they were eventually not designated as white, right?
