The manuscript explores the historical relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings as a lens to examine America's multiracial identity. Clarence Walker argues that the nation has struggled to recognize its diverse racial makeup since colonial times. Through a series of essays, he presents a nuanced view of Jefferson's legacy concerning race, critiques historians' interpretations, and reflects on contemporary American attitudes toward race and national identity amid increasing diversity.
