Black History is American History! YES #President #ThomasJefferson had #Black #kids? This is not a flex, just facts! Love it or hate it, I'm here b/c of it. You can't pick your #family but we can expose their historical injustices! #Jefferson owned over 600 enslaved people and had children with at least 1 of them, #SallyHemings . It wasn't consensual love b/c she was his property. No need to fight on this page about it! It's just the complicated truth of American History. I'm the 6th great grandson of Jefferson & Hemings and there are a lot of us! This is why I tour the country speaking about my family & all our families b/c some don't want us to know out history. We must preserve the truth... the good, bad & ugly! Thx #DrewGardner & @Smithsonian @Smithsonian Channel for helping hold the mirror up to #American ! #BHM To read more get the book I co-authored w/ #JaneFeldman #JeffersonsChildren The Story Of One American Family #IAmBlackHistory #ShareTruth
