Sarah "Sally" Hemings (c. 1773 – 1835) was an enslaved woman of mixed race owned by President Thomas Jefferson. According to the New York Times, there is a "growing historical consensus" among scholars that, as a widower, Jefferson had a long-term relationship with Hemings, and that he was the father of her six children, born after the death of his wife Martha Jefferson, who was the half-sister of Sally Hemings. Four of Hemings' children survived to adulthood. Hemings died in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1835. - Wikipedia

I think we should stop calling them "Masters" but instead refer to them as Criminals or Human Traffickers.
-
She was a 14 year old slave that resembled his dead wife and he used her sexually until he died with a promise to free their children. This is a sad story not a love story.
-
She definitely deserves to be recognized and honored.
-
Slavery is one of the worlds worst crimes
-
Why are they sugar coating her life story? Her life was not an “adventure”, she was a slave and this is not a love story bc she had no choice.
-
Did they just call a 14 year old and 40 year old sexual relationship consensual. Grosss
-
Thank you for this video as a descendant of Sally’s younger sister it’s refreshing hearing the name off my African ancestors name
-
Not them turning rape of both Sally’s mother & her into love stories. That’s disgusting.
-
Weird how we were good enough to nurse their babies, and to sleep with, but not good enough to treat like a human being that God created. Truly sad. How do you inherited a human person ugh 🙄
-
I hate the narrative that Sally and Thomas were “in love.” She and her children were viewed as property.
-
She was amazing, her strength & ability to shape the futures of her children shows the strength of her spirit.
-
Thank you for this truthful account of what this young woman's life was like. This is just one of the storys that should be taught in all our schools. This country was built by enslaved people and there's no reason we should not be teaching and discussing this history.
-
Why are they acting like her and her mother wasn’t raped? This is sick.
-
I need to hear the BLACK VERSION OF THIS STORY
-
This story shows us as black women how strong we are and what we will do and go through within our life. Keeping and maintaining our dignity and strength. We and I say WE as black American Females are strong no matter what struggles we go through we make it. Beautifully as we are this is how others view us but as we still strive they cannot. will not and be like us although they try. I'm proud to be a black beautiful woman like Sally.

Im glad it ends well. Also, very interesting that historians are interested in Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemming's lifes back in 1700s-1800s. I am happy to see the gathering of their descendents in the photo here. I really hope that everyone keep in touch and have get togethers whenever they have the time. Share their interests and life experiences and hobbies. Just look what positivity built from all these. My husband is part Malay and part Japanese. He has relatives who are of Indian blood, Malay blood and Japanese blood. From very dark-tanned complexion to pale complexion. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

Paused at “Difficult choices she made.”😒 Not a love story. She was an enslaved child.
-
He saw that beautiful black girl and preyed on her. This was nothing but rape. She was forced to conform. But played her cards well to secure her children’s future . Sadly there are many other Sally’s
-
Thank You Mr. SKINNER FOR THIS STORY LOVED IT!!
