Sally Hemings and the Making of Democracy The United States was founded not through declarations of equality, but through the labor of Black women whose political work reproduced the nation, even as it was erased from the democratic archive.…

"To center Hemings as a Founding Mother is not to redeem the United States’ democratic origins, but to expose how democracy was constituted through unfreedom."

Book talks are such a joyous bonus -- to spend the years researching, writing, editing and then get to talk about it all. Blast. Thanks @murraystate.bsky.social .
