Join us on Tuesday, July 20, at 1:00 p.m. ET for an encore presentation of our popular livestream, “Monticello Voices.” Guides discuss Monticello’s history as a plantation, and share stories about the enslaved men, women, and children whose labor kept Thomas Jefferson’s 5,000-acre enterprise running.

This made me sad. Very sad. And mad. Thank you for providing the information. I pray that all of the enslaved people are resting in the peace they so rightly deserve. What a terrible "man" Thomas Jerfferson was; I have no words.
Wonderful to hear true history of Jefferson and accompanying stories of the enslaved people that lived their lives, most of whom died at this plantation. I was saddened to see none of them even received as much as a named head stone upon death and burial. Thank you for the accurate history. Wished I had learned as a youngster. Thank you.
Excellent. Thank you all for this well-researched and heart-wrenching presentation.
We always assume our founding fathers were all wealthy when they died. Learning that during Jefferson's life, he was in debt and even his slaves belonged to his debtors is a hidden fact of history. Every society has had slaves. That says a lot about humanity.
Hello, I would like to know if there is a family tree of the Hemings family, to find out how the surname arrived in Brazil. Thanks!
