Everyone knows how much I love Annette Gordon-Reed and her award winning book on the Hemingses. I recently found a video of her speech at Monticello about the book, and it was incredible. It’s lengthy–there are 7 segments, but I watched every one. Although I had previously posted a link to the videos, the owner has decided to disable the embedment option. I do hope you will go to YouTube, put in “Annette Gordon-Reed” and take a look anyway.
Postscript: I was thrilled and excited to recently to meet and get to hear Mrs. Gordon-Reed talk about her book in D.C. at the Politics and Prose bookstore.




I’m finally getting to reading this book… I’m only at page 100, but I’m loving it already. I can completely relate to your infatuation with the author.
