My last tour of Monticello about a year ago was led by an excellent historian who happened to be black.
He taught us the history of Monticello and spoke little of the slaves. He did mention a couple specific slaves who help positions of high authority.
If it’s part of history, I don’t mind hearing it. If it’s a lecture, then that’s different.
I do remember there was some mention of the slaves at Monticello some 30 years ago when we were there. 10 years ago, they were having a naturalization ceremony so we couldn’t see everything in the house and nothing in the gardens. The tour was cut short nevermind we paid full price so I won’t be back.
