“Interpretive signage throughout the estate places slavery at the forefront of each historical feature by adding the word ‘enslaved’ before every possible job description, often multiple times: ‘an enslaved cook,’ ‘enslaved postilions,’ ‘Jefferson’s enslaved valet, Burwell Colbert.’”
This is not new. 15 years ago I described the tour at Monticello as “all slavery, all the time”. When the docent asked if anyone had any questions, I asked, “Were you ever going to bother to mention that Thomas Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence?”
