- Summary:
- Thomas Jefferson was a political figure that personifies contradictions. He proclaimed equality, but owned slaves, voiced racist beliefs, and supported policies that preserved systemic slavery. As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, how we choose to remember Thomas Jefferson speaks to our nation’s comfort level in confronting the history of our founding fathers.
