The mesmerising story of Juneteenth's integral importance to American history- told by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian.

Historian and legal scholar Gordon-Reed presents this epic work that tells the story of the Hemingses, an American slave family and their close blood ties to Thomas Jefferson.

A ground-breaking historical work that explicates Thomas Jefferson's vision of himself, the American Revolution, Christianity, slavery and race.
