As she walks the grounds of Monticello, Gayle Jessup White tells the story of those who once lived there - the enslaver, Thomas Jefferson, who enslaved more than 600 people, and the enslaved families he forced to work there. White is related to both families. “I couldn’t put together in my 13-year-old mind how a little Black kid growing up in Washington, D.C. could be related to the third president of the United States of America,” says Gayle Jessup White. White spent four decades tracing her ancestry and discovered through DNA that she is related both to Thomas Jefferson and to Peter Hemings, Sally Hemings’ brother. She works at Monticello and last year she published her memoir, “Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson and a Descendant's Search for her Family’s Lasting Legacy.” White hopes sharing her family story will help future generations better understand Thomas Jefferson and American history and continue the work of honoring the enslaved people and their role in shaping this country.
