A First
The official spokeswoman for Monticello stated, “For the first time at Monticello we have a physical space dedicated to Sally Hemings and her life. It’s significant because it connects the entire African American arch at Monticello.” There will be some new tours in 2018 that will just be designed to educate about the Hemings family.
Outside of the Mystery
The tours and new exhibit are meant to give an honest depiction of her life and end the mystery. The content of the tours have certainly changed since the new discoveries have been made.
