Join us for a presentation with Dr. Richard Kurin, Distinguished Scholar and Ambassador-at-Large at the Smithsonian Institution, as he discusses his compelling new book, History by a Hair: Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings & Solving a 200-Year-Old Mystery. This new work shares how a stray lock of hair preserved inside Jefferson’s Bible prompted an extensive, multi-year genomic study, leveraging cutting-edge DNA analysis to at last settle a two-century-old historical enigma. Books available for purchase from Reparations Club.
