Archaeologists Discover Sally Hemings’ Quarters — Right Next to Thomas Jefferson’s Bedroom


Among other things, Jefferson was a child rapist, an enslaver of at least 600 black people and an enabler of the routine practice of torturing and terrorizing blacks by the lash of the whip. Just some thoughts of mine...that's all. Sister Sally Hemmings, a strong sister indeed, was just trying to survive like most black people during her time.

Has anyone ever noticed the untold part of history about the slave owners wives and daughters sleeping with the black male slave? They know and we know that it happened more frequently than what's being told.....

You're on to something. I hadn't given much thought to that, but after I saw "Drum" starring Ken Norton I did think about the countless black child victims of pedophilia and the number of black men victimized by same sex rapist.

The horrors our ancestors had to endure are mind boggling. They were some resilient and powerful people.

See...there is part of the problem too. Teachers (white teachers) are in denial or just plain ignorant. Had a history teacher at HCC back in the day when taking some extra courses...she steered clear of the sections dealing with Black history. I finally figured out she did it because she knew absolutely nothing about Our History.....zip...nada...zilch.

I read this thread a few days ago and I had to go re-read some things my grandmother shared with my sister about whites and blacks mixing. Some whites did in fact rape etc....black women....but some did not. I think the nuber that did not was EXTREMELY small but my sister shared with me my grandmother's words about her father who was white.

I placed it quotes because it came from sister's writings about my maternal side of the family.

From my personal research I found that he loved black women. So much so that he had 3 daughters and 2 sons with black women. He was never married and from my research never had kids with any white women. As my grandmother told the story he was made an outcast because he was a "n-word lover" and moved from Haynesville to Southern Arkansas near a location where blacks and Native Americans lived. He died soon after around the time that my grandmother was 17. She remembers him giving her away at her wedding. He is buried in a cemetery where many black are buried with only his last name of Amos. Amos just so happens to be my my aunt's (sister to my mother) married name. Her husband has direct descendants from Haynesville whicj could possibly make them double related.
