The Gray Area with Sean Illing
Monticello and Jefferson - The Story of America
The book begins in monticello, and monticello was the first place that i went when i started conceiving of this book. And i wanted to go there because i think monticello inof isself, and jefferson specifically, the patron of montacello, so to speak. He wrote one of the most important documents in the history of the western world, and also enslaved over 600 people over the course of his life time. The only reason he was able to write the letters and engage with the philosophy and travel to these places was because of the hundreds of slave people on his plantation who were engaged in the labor that made his life possible.
