The @smithsonianmagazine is helping hold a mirror to #America & reflect how #President#ThomasJefferson not only took part in creating this country but also it’s people… black, white, brown, yellow & red! As the 6th great grandson of TJ & #SallyHemings, I’m only 1 example of how #slavery has not only separated the country but also made us more in common & connected than some may think!
Please visit the @smithsonian link in bio to read more & see the behind the scenes video for this project!

ht/ fdr in hell
Jefferson’s on the $2 bill. Put that guy on the $3 bill.
Isn’t it all about the ear lobe in the end?? They don’t match up.
Dead ringer except for the lips and the nose.
</sarc>
Last that I read it was genetically proven that it was TJ’s brother that was molesting the female help.
Yes, and Sally was the family’s nanny, not a slave.
So now that they’ve ‘blackened’ history will Jefferson’s statues be exempt from destruction?
good grief! … they’re PORTRAITS! … not photographs … an artists RENDITIONING!
…. anyway, DNA can only come close to TJ’s … more likely his brother’s son … if that
if one learns anything from genetics & ancestral records … one cannot claim lineage w/out establishment … no absolute proof, no absolute parentage
could’a, should’a, would’a …. don’t mean shit
I don’t see the resemblance.
6th Great Grandson of George Jefferson. Maybe.
Well, he does have Y.J.’s taste in fashion!
They both have two eyes, lips, and ears, one nose, chin, forehead, and mouth. My goodness! The resemblance is uncanny.
DNA never proved TJ had black prodigy.
They look identical, except for their faces.
James Callender was a “National Enquirer” type of tabloid writer, defaming people for extortion opportunities. Jailed and then subsequently kicked out of England, came to America and continued smear-writing.
Saw a likely blackmail situation with TJ & came up with the Sally Hemings lie.
James ended up dying drunk in a puddle of water.
