Reseña del editor:

The story of how Oprah Winfrey gathered the many white and African-American descendants of Thomas Jefferson together for an emotional reunion is combined with family trees, family photos, time lines, and historical documents as well as sixteen new pages not included in the hardcover. Original.

Nota de la solapa:

Shannon Lanier is sixth great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. He is also black. How is this possible? Shannon and his family are the result of Thomas Jefferson's union with his slave mistress, Sally Hemings. Two hundred years later, the facts are still in dispute. Jefferson's Children is the story of Shannon's travels across the country to meet his relatives from both sides of the family. The interviews and photographs contained paint a fascinating and complicated picture of a family that represents the larger family of America.
