From the sixth great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson and enslaved woman Sally Hemmings comes an anthology of Jefferson's living descendants.
Told in the style of a family photo album-with a combination of photographs and interviews-Jefferson's Childrenis the riveting story of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemming's sixth great-grandson, Shannon Lanier's, travels across the country to meet his relatives from both sides of the family. The profiles contained chart the multiple perspectives of Jefferson's and Hemming's descendants, from those who embrace their heritage to those who want nothing to do with Jefferson's legacy. A fascinating picture soon emerges, one that begins with a pairing of two individuals with vastly disparate levels of power-on the one side, the third president of the United States and the author of the Declaration of Independence; on the other, the woman who was his property-and that ultimately represents America's complicated history with issues of diversity and race and the unusual ways in which we define family.
