A Rethink on Thomas Jefferson with humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson

from Village SquareCast · host The Village Square

It's hard to reconcile that the author of the most central and sacred words in the American experiment—that all men are created equal—enslaved people.  Always game for a challenge (or possibly lacking the good judgment our mothers raised us to have), we've invited Jefferson scholar and host of "The Thomas Jefferson Hour" and author of the recently released "Repairing Jefferson's America" Clay Jenkinson to help us wrestle with a healthy and historically full picture of this man so deeply central to our story as a nation, in both its glory and its shame. Find this event online at The Village Square. This podcast series is presented in partnership with Florida Humanities. Village SquareCast is part of The Democracy Group podcast network.
