    BHM Fact #25 Sally Hemings: Mother of Thomas Jefferson's Kids

    Sally Hemings is one of the most famous—and least known—African American women in U.S. history. For more than 200 years, her name has been linked to Thomas Jefferson as his “concubine,” obscuring the facts of her life and her identity. The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of Hemings' children is the subject of the Jefferson–Hemings controversy. Following renewed historical analysis in the late 20th century, and a 1998 DNA study (completed in 1999 and published as a report in 2000) that found a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of Hemings' youngest son, Eston Hemings, the Monticello Foundation asserted that Jefferson fathered Eston and likely her other five children as well. However, there are some who disagree. In 2018, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation of Monticello announced its plans to have an exhibit titled Life of Sally Hemings, and affirmed that it was treating as a settled issue that Jefferson was the father of her known children. The exhibit opened in June 2018 SALLY HEMINGS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Hemings THE LIFE OF SALLY HEMINGS https://www.monticello.org/sallyhemings/ Thomas Jefferson's Black and white relatives meet each other https://youtu.be/7uCvaTV-L0U New Monticello Exibit Has picture of whole family https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/new-monticello-exhibit-takes-closer-look-sally-hemings-slavery-healing-ncna888136 CHECK OUT MY OTHER PODCAST A DAY WITH CRIME SPREAKER https://www.spreaker.com/show/a-day-with-crime-podcast ITUNES AND IOS https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-day-with-crime-podcast/id1378710724 GOOGLE PLAY AND ANDROID https://play.google.com/music/m/Ij5445zg22lvnomustpid6cpth4?t=A_Day_With_Crime_Podcast DON'T FORGET TO RATE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.facebook.com/CenasCorner1101 www.twitter.com/cena5401 cenascorner11@gmail.com Cover Art and Logo created by Jacob Verdajo Sound Mixing and editing by David McClam Intro and outro jingle by Keith Cramer

    BHM Fact #21 The Statue Of Liberty

    The Statue of Liberty was created to celebrate the end of slavery. She has the chains to prove it! Although this has been hidden for more than 125 years, believe me a lot of African Americans know this about the statue of liberty. Did you know she did not have that pedestal when she was first offered by the French? The French asked them to build a pedestal but it hides her feet. What were they trying to hide? SLAVE CHAINS! Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was the sculptor who made the Statue of Liberty. Bartholdi, left broken chains at the feet of Lady Liberty to remind us of the freedom from oppression and servitude. These chains are unseen by visitors as they sit atop the pedestal, however, they can be seen from an aerial view The National Park Service has since changed the page on the Statue of Liberty, to tell the true story and show the chains on her feet. The Statue of liberty wears shackles and chains to honor freed slaves https://www.laprogressive.com/statue-of-liberty-wears-chains-and-shackles/ CHECK OUT MY OTHER PODCAST A DAY WITH CRIME SPREAKER https://www.spreaker.com/show/a-day-with-crime-podcast ITUNES AND IOS https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-day-with-crime-podcast/id1378710724 GOOGLE PLAY AND ANDROID https://play.google.com/music/m/Ij5445zg22lvnomustpid6cpth4?t=A_Day_With_Crime_Podcast DON'T FORGET TO RATE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.facebook.com/CenasCorner1101 www.twitter.com/cena5401 cenascorner11@gmail.com Cover Art and Logo created by Jacob Verdajo Sound Mixing and editing by David McClam Intro and outro jingle by Keith Cramer
