Sally Hemmings is one of the most well-known slaves. I was exposed to her story by accident, when I found a book in my middle school library, called Wolf By The Ears. Obviously, it was not a historically accurate book, but it sparked an interest in the Presidency and politics of Thomas Jefferson, as well as his relationship to slavery. This book does a wonderful job of tracking the Hemmings family ancestry and provides a lot of information about several members of the family. I really enjoyed this book, and read it at a really good time. I am in my last week of African American History and American Slavery classes, so this was appropriate reading for this.
