Wow!! gm, you are one well-read dude. I spent a few hours listening to Gordon-Reed's lectures on the topic this past week. I intend reading her book; it is on my list. I really enjoyed Willard Sterne Randall's book on Jefferson, but near the end, he makes the argument that it was one of Jeffersons relation that had the affair with Hemings. There are a whole group of scholars that defy the testimonies of Heming's kin. Plus the fact that Jefferson was present at Monticello at the time of all the conceptions. It will be interesting to hear these deniers in light of this new incontrovertible evidence.

Lol...it's amazing that this hasn't already been accepted as a fact of history!
The oral part of this history existed long ago in the AfricanAmerican community, but was dismissed as folkloric mumbo jumbo..

Even after Annette Gordon-Reed's book(definitive from where i stand), you'd think the controversy was over, but here we are.

The brief reviews I've just scanned are all positive and glowing, meaning this must now be a settled issue. But jeez, even the Smithsonian had to get involved? My lawwd!

BUT WAIT, not so fast, don't think for a moment that MAGA historians are gonna accept this new finding. And given Trump recent attacks on The Smithsonian, I suspect this new bit of info on Thomas Jefferson will be dismissed as "woke".

AND, has Kris Columbus heard about this? Do we know of his reaction? Has his friend Mr TheOne warned him about this book?....SPLAAAAAAAAAAAT😆😂
