...the Sally Hemmings hoax

I was on a cruise on which Rita Dove (Clinton's poet laureate) was a speaker. She had done a book-long poem that got into a thing about Charles Hightower, a fraudulent "black prince" who was a helluva violin player.

There's some evidence that she mentioned that not only did Jefferson go to a Charles Hightower concert while he was in France, but that Sally Hemmings was on that trip and in that audience. I don't know if that aspect is true, but I do tend to believe that Sally Hemmings did father some Jefferson children.

Wasn’t Jefferson himself, though.
