0.0 x 0.0

60 x 48". Mixed Media. 2020. What really happened at Monticello? Well it depends on who you ask. If you ask the 600 slaves forced to their lives in bondage - you’ll get one answer. If you ask the 3rd president of the US - you’ll get another. But if you ask Sally Hemming the slave and mother of 6 of his children. You’ll get quite another answer. Declaration of Independence had little meaning to slaves on a plantation. They were just markings on paper that they weren’t allowed to understand.
