For history junkies who enjoy watching that kind of programming on C-SPAN3, Annette Gordon-Reed is a rock star.
She’s been on that network more than three dozen times since 1997 talking about Thomas Jefferson, slavery and other race-related issues. Her first book, “Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy,” pointed the finger at Jefferson and the intimate relationship he had with one of his slaves, and a decade later Gordon-Reed’s 2008 book, “The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family,” earned her the Pulitzer Prize for History.
