Thomas Jefferson's black and white DNA
Description
In January 2000, scientists and historians at Monticello announced the results of an independent study and concluded that Thomas Jefferson probably fathered one or more children by his slave Sally Hemings. Byron Woodson, Sr., who took a DNA test to prove that he is a sixth generation descendent of Thomas Jefferson, talks about his findings in a new book, A President in the Family.
