You
If you for one moment wish to doubt the danger of this attack upon us read this the aristocracy of this neighborhood is one of the
Violists in America James calendar
He's calendar be damned since papa has chosen not to address this issue
We as his family must be mindful of his legacy
Papar's the president of the United States Mr.. Randolph, it's Angel Peter. We must all agree
It shall be the position of this family that these accusations regarding Sally of force and
The events have never occurred
Upon your return to Washington, you must defend your presidency
You must extricate yourself from this madness papa
It will doubtless be contradicted by a proper authority and calendar will be punished as he ought
so enormous and liable
But you must deny these claims Sally must be sold
I
Trust you implicitly in all things and I leave you in charge of Monticello and all who live here
But in this matter you are wrong
So sell Sally would be turned around to an admission of guilt
More importantly Sally is one of our own and she will never be sold
We may be vilified by the world, but she will not be a bad
You
What are you doing in my room?
This is no longer your room
Nothing in here is yours
It all belongs to papa and therefore to me upon my orders. You are barred from this house most especially from this room
Now get out
No, I will not allow these shameful letters to make their way into history
My father
Shall be remembered as the righteous and honorable man he is and you will be grateful for his generosity to you and your family
And you will be silent
Silence do you hear me?
Mr.. Jefferson has returned to Washington
Where he shall look his colleagues in the eye and assure them that his character is beyond for approach and
God be willing
He may one day allow himself a companion of his own standing and color to share in his presidency and his greatness
Back your belongings
Oh
There are no place cards, Mr.. President no need we die in hell now your chair, mrs.. Smith
Hey, mr.. President what intrigues have you brought from home this time?
Such thoughtless a tie for such an elegant dinner Thomas
Margaret do use your influence and introduce the president to brocade preferably
Venetian more difficult than you can imagine mrs.. Madison. He so loves the French
I'll have no trappings of monarchy in this administration. I'm a man of the people
Well, then perhaps the people should buy you a new suit
Preferably Venetian
They know attention to mr.. Pain is an old friend as old as this very expensive wine and equally expensive crystal
Man of the people indeed
Dinner
One of my famous Virginia hands aged and cured of my plantation to be followed by the bonboosh
Ice cream and in addition macaroni macaroni darling you are right. I decided a democratic dish by me say so
And although meeting some initial resistance macaroni has become quite a traction of these dinners
I heard a rumor mr.. President
That you're also in negotiations with the French government regarding the Louisiana territories is it true
We're in luck. You know one rubber out from Paris to say the little Corsican is
willing to sell Louisiana and
Florida's
Yes, well your good fortune is due to those Haitians who are resisting French slavery
Unfortunately indeed that the revolt did not reach these shores. She's stunning is she not?
One could well understand how a man might favor a creature of such complexion
Margaret a toast to the Louisiana purchase
Raise your glass mr.. President
I
Know she'd not have come this was very bold of you to do Sally and I don't care what anyone thinks of me ultimately
We are women aren't we?
Given to the same second-class concerned no matter our color. Do you think it's easy being a political wife?
The way your thrust aside and forced to be a charming though
silent accoutrement
Before we were married I had to fight several earnest widows who were showing their ankles for mr.. Madison
But I learned to adapt to situations
Thomas is fighting for his political life
Learn to adapt Sally
Times will change
Now come with me it's late and the president is no doubt waiting
I
Don't know it does name. Did you make your way here to Washington?
What are you planning to sell me and the children?
Not
No, no you are mistaken you did not hear every word I specifically told Martha you were not to be sold
She has locked me out of my room. She was she had locked me out of the house. Sorry. This is an outrage
Now let's give me say I want to tell her was your home. It will always be your home. You understand?
She cannot treat me like this Thomas. She will not I will see to them
Oh, sorry
Sally
I was bereft when you would not see me
I
Have given you four children Thomas
And yet I'm not the ones that are next to you and dinner. I want to be at your side
You
Good morning, Mr. President
Good morning to you miss having
Mr. President
Do not add up sir the Spanish ambassador awaits your presence in the library. Oh god. Tell him I will be with him shortly. Yes, sir
Take this with you to my dechoa
And rest assured you will have no more trouble for Martha
Remember my heart goes with you
Mr.. President tell me about that will be at least an hour
Oh
Good day, sir, I am James Thompson calendar scribe for the Richmond recorder
I
For the presidents and was alarmed to find it unguarded surely I'm not mistaken. This is the president's carriage. Is it not?
Lady you are the Negroes
Sally Hemings this
Seren diptus encounter may well afford you the opportunity to share your story with the voracious public through the services of my
Personal reportage I have nothing to say to you mr. Calendar you have been much maligned lady
You would be well advised to seize this chance to set things are right
Here is my card feel free to contact me should you experience a change of heart
sir
You are an abomination of mankind no madam
It is your lover who holds that dubious distinction your mr. Jefferson may hood wink his
Colleads with his self-righteous man of the people horse manure, but not me
He may bleat like a white lamb, but he ruts like a black ram
No
What are you doing here forgive me Martha I believe there has been some
misunderstanding the circumstances have not changed
You'll excuse me
Upon my journey from Washington I was met on the road by a man who appeared to be quite solicitous of my opinion with regard to our troubles here
This is his card you would not
Go
Wretch resign the presidential chair disclose thy secret features foul or fair
Good indeed, yes indeed we shall print that one, but let me titillate you with a bit of accompanying text
President Jefferson has been for years living in an habitual load some relationship with his slave
Sally Hemings and through this unholy union he has bred several mixed offspring
Now I ask you how do we present such a relationship to our wives? What do we say to our children?
Is this slave
Fornocator truly the man we want to reelect for another four years a man whose character and personal behavior is so
Despicable it is beneath contempt
Well, then I say to you that the ruin of president japanston his party and indeed his very nation
Lies in the hands of a slot as common as the pavement
I am James Hemings a free man
And you shall not defame my sister indeed sir witness my friends an example of our president's
Repulsively a zone staggering before us blaring in the language of romance silence me sir
I think not or do you even comprehend my word you should pay for your actions all of you you and your kind
You should be cursed my slave curse
You want others you have them to want you remove him remove this pit of the Lord
And if they refuse behold I will smite them all
Ignore my warning I put a cost on you
I
You
Know well and feel what you have lost what you have suffered
What you have to endure and
Our prey our dear James
Will find himself in a heaven which shall be an ecstatic meeting with the friends and family he has loved and lost
All of us join president Jefferson in his sentiments upon the passing of your loved one
I
Remember in Paris a man tipped his hat to me
And my brother turned to me and he said you like that don't you
James spent his whole life
Hoping to be looked in the eye with respect
All his skills
His education his manners even his freedom
Could not gain him this simple wish
So he died in despair
And I honor him
But he did not live in vain and he showed us what we can
And what we will be
Oh
Oh
Who you want gone
And enemy who you want
Tom the weird grind slow
But a grind fine
Threatnought yourself about the weekend for they will soon be caught down
like grass
And we
Said I am so sorry about James
That is money you scattered around
Mr. Jefferson does not allow beatings on this plantation you better back up girl go on
Don't ever push your hands on me. I don't take no back talk from any of you up in the negative put up that with mr
Later, I will run you through now your work here is finished. You return to the house. You collect your wages and get off the property
She could hear the sound
other horse is when
meaning
When he kind of was that
That kind of work
I was looking for Miss Sally
I'm Sally I hear you help folks get know
Oh
Get down off the buggy
Oh
You done real good boy
Don't say a word in over now you hear now get get on out of here
You think you're so damn superior don't you
Better than anybody
You're hot flippin ways and influence on the president
Race mixing is an aberration and you with your indecent randomness which disgrace is southern owner
He'll be sold in the Georgia like a field here
Some folks don't see you dead. I'm happy to blood
We
Feel the honor of our country we do most honestly and sincerely wish to see the stain upon the nation
Remove by the appearance of some
Nigger lovers half breeds
infidels
All right, you sick of it. How many of these half breeds around here yours, brother
I am breeding free labor and we are so grateful
You see Sally is the perfect example of white people's fears
She's smart
beautiful
Impale a
Negorous capable of seducin white men and everyone followed uncle's example by the end of the century
There will be no more white people
That woman is dangerous
Fear not I'm one of the impression the situation is being dealt with
Think on this I
Shotted to imagine now mr. Lily my right his current communication
What
What in God's name are you talking about?
Cleaner up she won't fight your dollar like that
Back away from her lily are you where you stand mr. Carr
Now why would a white man defend a wicked creature like this?
That's it back away Lily and walk down this road now
Hey, you drop your weapons now
Don't worry Sally I'll take care of you
Dear Sally first and foremost I miss you terribly sent my warmest love to you and all of my children
I am witness to a glorious day
I
827,000 square miles of the Louisiana territories and today part of the United States
from the Mississippi to the Great Plains and mountains beyond
Need more mullet we did shit or she'll burn I don't want
Just go
60 million francs for sense an acre to double our national geography and open the door to a vast new world of unlimited resources
Tomorrow I will open the doors to the president's house to the citizenry in celebration
Your all the nation around the strength of central government
Show that together as one we are strong and resourceful
Sally no foe will ever disturb our peace of mind again or the pursuit of our happiness
It is open my love and our trials are now behind us
The country is now focused on the glorious achievements and not the intricacies of my personal affairs
And when my duties here are complete I show a turn in my little mountain and the warmth of your arms
Thomas
Four days later James Thompson calendar was bound round in three feet of water
As you so so shall you reap
But I recognize that I wish I made an anger had been fulfilled in a most horrible way
In the fall of 1803 concerned for Polly's failing help mr. Jefferson returned to Montecello for the harvest celebration
Take this plate over to Virginia
Harry take this dish over to Virginia take it over
A little girl you all over again Harry dude you grandma tells you
Miss Hemings may I have a word with you?
Be careful my love now remember the doctors said you can only be here for a short time
You
Know you could be arrested for harboring happen runaways
What are you talking about I know of several incidences now you take me seriously
If you thought what Lillie did to you was bad imagine what the sheriff would do
Brand you
Me me
Cut off your hand
But I'm always here I
Take your side
And why
Because I keep dreaming one day you realize that I'm the one silly
Me
You know different from the rest of the different from whom my uncle
You read the folded pages you realize that my uncle is not different many other slave home and I am different
You
It's time you knew just exactly what my uncle thinks about your niggra Sally he doesn't care for you the way I do
What is going on
I
Believe you owe me an explanation
And what do you mean I have eyes I just saw you kissing Sally. This is ridiculous. I'm her friend
Let's try to make a feel at ease when you're gone take away some of the pain of this game
requires you to kiss her to touch her
Have you been intimate with her speak up damn you have you done something shameful having you
Having you to the detriment of us all
Would you ask yourself if she might be attracted to me I'm younger stronger
Here when she needs someone when she's in danger instead of you who's up in Washington
This sivawan and denying all claims to her. Oh, you're cute. Thank you
I suggest you return to your own farm and your own wife
I have treated you like a son you're no longer welcome in this house
Leave my sight
He doesn't want to be to you
What is this tone you have taken with me Betty it is a mother's tone
I
Want a word with you man
He tells me that you want a younger man
You want a younger man
Samuel's feelings cannot have progressed without some prompting on your part
How dare you insinuate that I've been intimate with him
But then of course you believe your wife nephew and not your black concubine
Because you wrote this
Whites are superior to blacks and reason and impurities
Yet in music
Blacks are more gifted than whites with accurate is platoon time and rhythm and imagination they are tasteless and dull
They secrete less by the kidneys and more by the glands which gives them a strong disagreeable
Oh, did it occur to you that your slaves don't have your brass bathing tubs or your perfumed oils
And this among blacks is no poetry. I
Have never yet heard of black utter a thought above the level of plain narration
Take of my observations out of context here's one in context
An amalgamation between whites and blacks produced the degradation to which no one can innocently consent
I was wrong
Every time you say no, sorry, I can't do anything about slavery now you wait till I'm elected wait when reelected wait wait
It was all lies your own law against the stagnation prevents from marrying over 25 years ago
I'm going to admit that as a slave state and perpetuate the horror
You're gonna sit on your hands blaming the Southern constituents
Because they say slavery
Sorry what has happened to you? I hate you
Hey, I'm allowed you to tear me into
Stop
Love me
Love me the same way that I love you
Love you
I'm still with you, please
Don't forget that you're on my heart
I love you. God help me. I do
Sorry
It was never never leave me
And I will always love and love you
I
Promise me
I do
After serving two terms as president mr. Jefferson had retired once more to mother cello
Paulie had died in 1804 and my mother in 1807
I had been blessed with two more sons Madison and Eston
Due to a long drought caught in a tobacco crops had failed across the south and Monticello had not been prosperous for years
He had told me his spending and entertaining continued and he fell deeply into debt
What is it mommy? I was just thinking
I was just thinking about an old friend
Paulie who's buried here
in Henry
And your grandma Betty be down by the river. Where should I be buried mama when I die?
Well first of all you won't be dying anytime soon
But when you do you'll be with your grandma
It is precisely 15 minutes before our ceremony is due to begin miss hamming
And yet this group of participants seems to be content to loll around on blankets in the sun
Well, if you would care to look up mr. Jefferson you will see that it is about to rain
Rain nonsense it is too important today for rain
Run our way mr. Jefferson
excellent
That is one happy man sister. That's because he ain't president no more
I
Beautiful that was box sonata and be minor
Oh, thank you Beverly. Oh
Practice practice practice and maybe one day you shall play as well as Beverly Harvings
Mother grandfathers here for the ceremony all on then a grandfather requires president
Mr. Batista mr. Bacon are still waiting for the medium of the park
I fear it's about their wages. Oh, your father won't listen. I'll tell you now
Well, then I shall rely on you not to let him stray from the matter
Keep keep them occupied
Let it be noted that there are those among us who doubted that the sun would shine
There will be no doubting Thomas's on Monticello
Now this flag
Was sent to us by an old and dear friend of Monticello president James Madison
It marks the completion of the dome and a crown on our beloved hall
But we will not rest here on our little mountain
The children of this rising generation shall be the leaders of the next
And therefore the fires of education must burn force from these hills throughout the world
So on with to our next task the building of the University of Virginia
Now I want you all to follow me. I have some amazing surprises to show you
This
Is a skull fragment of the humongous mastodon
Which was found at big bone lick
Here you are
And this year
This is the ceremonial headdress of the great chief black cat
The mandent
This was brought to me by Meriwether Lewis a gift to the great white father
Excuse me for power. Mr. Randolph has brought Mr. Batiste and Mr. Bacon for your meeting
I am already engaged in a meeting Martha as you see all right all of you go outside
Leave the president come here
Mr. Batiste Mr. Bacon
Mr. Batiste
I had an epiphany last night
Yes, sir. An epiphany. I have rendered a drawing and you will see that I have yielded with reluctance
To the taste of Clarissa in his preferences for the noble lines of antiquity
But sir, we are here to discuss the costs of the University
I see
Well gone, but you see sir
I have split my workers
Between the work here and at the university site
The draftsmen have not been paid for their plans
The men have not been compensated since May
I must ask you sir for some or some war
So mr. Randolph. I show we were tired of the forests
Mr. Randolph, sir
We are crippled by death
And you hold out your hand for more mr. Randolph
Please sir, I only wish to
Wish the white bleeders dry
Why should I take a cane to you?
Come
Youth men
Well, my apologies, Jim
Well perhaps some other time as you see we are
somewhat indisposed
Good day gentlemen
You seem to have acquired more books, mr. Jefferson
Oh no, they are not mine
They are for the university library
We cannot dismiss the reality of our financial circumstances
Mother God will provide
And if he does not
When is mr. DuPont expected to arrive?
At week's end
Good, then we shall provide the best for their entertainment
And they in turn will provide the wherewithal for the continuance
Of this great enterprise
The university of it
Oh, my God
Martha I think
Mr. Randolph needs a little assistance
Oh, mr. Randolph
He has recreated the aloe play in the middle of a field
Grand uncle who is that?
Yes, I'm blue
I'm a little early sir
I am most sure of me
You have surprised us in our gun like Adam and Eve
Adebuzo
Adebuzo
Oh, gentlemen, you wonderful man
Ateela
A man by the answer of his hand
I would love to see you again
How long is it been, Maria?
Oh, not since Paris, 70-89, sir
27 years and still a beauty
This is my son Elute
Call him EI
EI
And William Alexandre, who is one half of him, my American nephew
Welcome to Monticello, sir
I shall be up shortly but in the meantime if you would do me the favor of dropping this by the kitchen
So we may enjoy them for our tea is this afternoon
Oh, it's about a napweed
Sweet modding thistle various mince
Very efficacious
But the real tonics are the real tonic
Is to see you my old friend
Yes, me
The mother is up at the house
Come on, let's have him
Come on, Harriet
We still have
We still have a little work there
He's quite the eccentric, isn't he, Grand uncle
Yes, and hopefully still a wealthy one
We shall do the best we can with what we have
Now this must appear to be a big burden, y'all
Despite the lack of trouble the prepping that meet
Y'all meet, mother
You realize that every sheet in the house has a hole in it
You know, pretty that make me dump things for sitting at least 12 at flower and water
This is still missing something
Meet
Effort
Mother
Have you seen that boy with the dew pumps?
He's quite pleasing
Harriet, take the tea up to Mr Jefferson, please
Take the tea up to Mr Jefferson, please, Harriet
Why should I?
Miss you and depart won't drink that tea
Only Mr Randolph drinks that tea because he is sick
There is no time for this, Harriet
I will not go down there and serve
Is this about that boy?
I don't care about that boy, I should be sitting at the table with everyone else
They do pawns of very important guests to Mr Jefferson
I'm not sure if I can get them to the table
I'm sure they'll be there
I'm sure they'll be there
I'm sure they'll be there
I'm sure they'll be there
According guests to Mr Jefferson and to all of us
Now will you kindly come downstairs and help me?
When do you think it would be proper to ask Mr Jefferson about an investment in our company?
Certainly not on the first night it would not be proper we would doggy good guests
When do you feel we should have mentioned the investment in this year?
Well, not on the first night it would not be proper
Not good hosts
Thomas! Melting shadow is beautiful
Thank you, Pierre
I have arranged for you to visit the side of the university tomorrow
I think you will be very impressed we can't wait
Gentlemen, dinner is ready
And tonight in honor of our French guests we shall be having a book
in your family
You know Thomas we also have several fascinating projects
one of them involves the so-called rubber tree from the carrie
The other townhouses
What unearns you think you are doing?
You will go up tomorrow
You will take off this dress and you will see your duties in the timing
Don't you hear me?
Go!
Excuse me
Excuse me
No, well they told me looks to not run in the Randolph family
But dear lord you give lie to that
Your breathtaking
My name is your name
It's Harriet
Harriet Randolph
Well I am William Alexander at your service
My name is Gordon
Your service
My name is Gordon you to dinner
I'm afraid that I have been excused this evening
as I am recovering from a bit of a fever
Perhaps you will allow me to spend some time in your company tomorrow
That would be most agreeable to it
Tomorrow then
You
New York and London
And then on to France
Along the C-Paris and the Sun
Probably Vufrances
Mar-Mous-Arn?
We
The Deepa
My man
And my mother taught me
Envy her European travels
I can only take you as far as our home in Philadelphia
Well that would be enough William
That would be so exciting
I can show you where your grandfather and all the other great
Patriots formed our government and rang the bell of freedom
What is it Harriet?
I would love to go
I would love to
You
He's so wonderful
I'm so sweet
And he's already mentioned that he wants to take me to Philadelphia with him
Does he know who you are?
Mama
This is my chance to have the life I want
And why is it that you want a home?
A family
A chance in this world to be free
He is a DuPont, he's a man of means
And I'm the daughter of the president
Am I not deserving of some of the things that freedom brings?
You are his child Harriet
You will never be his daughter
Mother
Please
The way you will be treated in this world has already been decided by the color of your skin
You must never deny who you are
Even though who we are began with a crime
And most of us would do anything to escape it
I'm sorry
Sorry I've not spent very much time here during your visit
Martha and I are having crop failures at edge here
Quite all right
I've been spending my time quite nicely thanks to your daughter
She's wonderful
Which one?
Virginia
Harriet
I'm infatuated with her
Harriet
I don't have a daughter Harriet
Of course you do sir
The one with the chestnut hair
The beautiful blue eyes the one I met at our rifle party
The one wearing the lilac dress?
Yes sir
I'm afraid I'm falling in love with her
She knows French poetry music she's divine
That's Harriet Hemings
He's one of our slaves you imbecile
But she looks
Surely I've noticed Montagello is crawling with white slaves
Investment from me and gunpowder
No, no, no
Education is designed to propel mankind forward
Gunpowder is designed to blow us all the hair
So it's when building new roads and cities
Do open up the west-eyed frontier
People will need gunpowder
And scientists and surveys
Artisans to build each new hamlet and educators and doctors
But not weapons and explosives
Sweet, sweet
Now it becomes clear
Thomas
Don't you see what's happening?
You invited me here to invest in your university
And you came here because you wanted me to put money into your gunpowder company
It is priceless, sir
We are beggars both
We
Our relationship is worth far more than that
Forgive me, dear man
No, no
Forgive me, my, my beggar friend
White women do not work in the kitchen
How dare you pass yourself off as a rando
How dare you pass yourself off as white
How dare you? How dare you?
Get your foot off me, nigga
Who dare you?
I said stop it!
Master William, you will never treat my children this way in my home
Do you understand me, Mr. Bacon?
Yes, Miss Salah
Will you escort this boy off the road and back to his family?
Let's go, son
And you get cleaned up
I'm not a real man
I'm a real man
I'm a real man
I'm a real man
I'm a real man
I'm a real man
I'm a real man
I'm a real man
I'm a real man
Please forgive me
I am more than embarrassed by his behavior
He had no right to deal with your servant in that manner
No, it is no reflection on you, man, any?
You, man, any?
And besides, might serve to teach that young man
A measure of respect
Uncle, Liza, me, de la Repobic
Of course
Okay
Well, you did well to defend your sister, young man
Thank you, son
I have it
You all right?
Yes, sir
Sometimes
We are hurt because of what we do not say because we fail to tell the truth
And what truth are you talking about, Pa?
I know
I know you are
worried
You are afraid I'm going to die
And if you were alone and overwhelmed
You are strong, shall we?
You are strong and I've come to depend on your strength
We shall sail our bark with
With hope in the head
Leaving fear far and awake
We shall be fine
Now, I must go to the stable
Yes, I must go to the stable
I'm an old man now, Sally, but a younger one on horseback
Thank you
until the gravity of his dead became a harsh reality.
Everything from our joinery has gone for nearly $50.
The Campeche chairs, the speed press, the revolving bookcase, everything.
We can only hope our French belongings will compensate for that loss.
The assessors from Philadelphia are in the front hallway.
They will settle a sum for the European paintings and the maps.
European maps, not my maps of this country.
They ought to be left to the university along with my papers and drawings.
Oh, Sally.
The clocks.
They'll be so too, Tom.
They are here from Washington for the books.
Papa?
The resident James Madison authorized the purchase of Thomas' collection of books
to replace those destroyed when the British burned the National Library in 1812.
8,000 books.
Books from around the world.
Books he'd owned for decades.
Books Thomas had taught me to read from.
Books I had taught my children and other slaves with.
Oh.
This is now great loss.
Well, my good fortune will be the nation's gain.
Besides, I've read them all twice over.
How much did the government pay for the books, Papa?
That is my private affair, Martha.
Because if it is not over $50,000, then we shall be forced off this plantation.
Forced off, nonsense.
I still own all the equipment and livestock here.
Which is being sold.
And at Verina and Poplar Forest.
Which are more of each to?
You have 152 slaves, Poplar. That is your only valuable commerce now.
Oh.
Now I will not sell myself.
And if you sell 60 of them, you will hold off the bank for six months.
BAMMAN!
And I will not abandon them.
I will tell you.
I will tell you what just happened.
It just happened.
What is happening, Martha?
We are bankrupt.
The bankers cannot bring themselves to face Mr. Jefferson.
They will be financed alone only when they receive the money owed them.
We are $100,000 in debt.
And though it is noble in the face of demise to be uncompromising, Poplar.
We need the money our slaves can provide.
Huh?
Please excuse me.
It is time for my ride.
I am going to have a seat to remember that there was a time when I had hoped for the
emancipation of all of you.
Because nothing is more certain than that one day your people will know freedom.
But I have failed you in that.
And my Monticello dream has failed too because it was based on slavery.
Which I have always known in my heart was an iniquity.
But I did nothing because I was afraid and complacent.
And that has brought us all to this painful moment.
We have all been overwhelmed by misfortune.
Our plantation no longer supports us.
My credit is now on Monticello and all of you.
And...
And...
I am afraid you will all be sold.
And I am sorry.
I am so sorry.
But...
We have families all be Visit.
Where they next be your friends, Mr.
Paul.
They call to them.
They call usOL
We're going to get two.
Let me hear it.

You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
There, here to see you, Thomas.
Oh, sure.
You are leaving now.
Well, I have something for you here.
Sally, would you ask Mr. Bacon to escort them to the stage at Charlottesville?
I want them seen after properly.
No, Harriet. It's for you.
You are a smart, prideful girl, Harriet.
And I don't like your mother. I know you were farewell.
Oh, Beverly.
Beverly.
Would you do me the honor of playing for me one last time?
Oh, you're okay.
I'm sorry.
Harriet went to Philadelphia and Beverly to Washington.
I knew that they would both pass, and that I would never hear from them again.
And so, in my 50th year, I began to question my legacy.
Three children gone, all masquerading as white.
But then, a passionate wish I made long ago was unexpectedly fulfilled.
I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.
I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.
I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.
I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.
I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.
Hello, mama.
Hello.
It's Tom.
Tom Hamming's come home.
When I heard about Mr. Jefferson's troubles,
I just had to come.
Jemima and I could not have thought of you being sold or dispossessed.
Jemima? It's my wife.
I've been married for 20 years.
You have ten grandchildren to meet.
Oh, Tom.
20 years.
I want you to come home with me, Mama.
I've come to ask Mr. Jefferson if we might...
I come to my pechales.
Mr. Jefferson, this is...
Tom Woodson of Ohio.
Woodson.
I have Woodson cousins in Green-Bryer County, Virginia.
You have the time, sir.
Mr. President?
The time. Do you have the time?
Well, that is a handsome watch.
Now, I happen to have a fob,
which belonged to a watch which I misplaced years ago.
I hope you can find some use for it.
Well, I thank you.
Mr. Jefferson.
Well...
Well...
This is my own, Tom.
We hemming through as much as bottom on a cello as the jackpot.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
We hemming through as much as bottom on a cello as the jackpot.
I cannot leave you.
I cannot leave him.
I know that now, mama.
My own friend and adversary,
President Adams is also of the view
that this is the best summer that he will call.
You know, it hasn't done our garden too much good.
No, most things have suffered this year.
They'll come back up.
They always do.
Come on.
They have foreclosed.
The auction is set for next month.
They've lost at Chella.
Come on.
They have foreclosed.
The auction is set for next month.
They've lost at Chella.
The auction is set for next month.
They've lost at the auction.
Make sure the starlet is as we discuss.
Yes.
It's all right, Mother.
It's all right.
Sorry.
Fuck you for me.
I never told you enough.
Well, I've always loved you.
You come home sweet darling.
Is it the fourth?
Yes.
President Thomas Jefferson died July 4, 1826,
on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
As my mother did it,
He's been as generous as he could for a man in such debt.
Our lives are a complete pretense.
He's like a ducking.
No inheritance, no bequifs.
Only instructions regarding five slaves he could afford to free.
Madison and Estin are among men.
You are not mentioned in the will.
However, your name does appear on the slave inventory list,
which I could overlook as I'm certain he would want your family together,
if at all possible.
Did you think he would provide for you?
He did not provide for me or his grandchildren.
I have served my father with as much fidelity as I could have served my God.
And for the rest of my days, I will preserve his legacy and his genius.
And I will protect him from...
Look at me when I speak to you.
No. You look at me.
What do you see?
Family, I'm your aunt, Martha.
I'm your mother's sister.
We have the same blood.
You can't deny me.
And you can't sell me.
Because years before Thomas died.
He gave me this.
I've been free since Paris.
Then you are a fool.
Your father once told me something that you said.
That slavery is wrong.
That human beings should have the right to be where they want to.
I've always wanted to be here, Martha.
If I took my freedom, it would have meant I had to leave Virginia.
But I would never.
I would never have left your father.
Here we are.
We are both displaced.
Where will you go?
I shall go to live with my Ellen and her family.
And you?
I will stay here and be with my sons.
Yes.
I must entrust my story to my children now.
So perhaps they will pass down the history of who they are and how they came to be.
The world is now in the world.
And I will stay here and have a great day.
I will stay here and have a great day.
I will stay here and have a great day.
I will stay here and have a great day.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
