- Summary:
- Although Thomas Jefferson was a lifelong enemy of the institution of slavery, he considered over six hundred human beings his legal possessions over the course of his long life. This fascinating work, which draws on Jefferson's extensive records and on oral histories of slave descendants, highlights the stories of six enslaved families who lived and worked at Monticello and explores events and issues that affected the entire African-American community.
