Description
Summary:
Winthrop D. Jordan, Professor of History at University of California, Berkeley, and author of "White Over Black," talks about the history of race relations in the United States, and his assessment of issues of interracial sexuality in colonial America. Jordan was the first historian to use Dumas Malone's timeline of Jefferson's activities to demonstrate that he was at Monticello for the conception of each of Sally Hemings' children lending validity to allegations about Thomas Jefferson and a liaison with his slave. Jordan talks about the institution of slavery, the beginnings of the Abolition movement, who actually assisted fugitive slaves to freedom, speculation about how slavery may have ended without a civil war, and the future of race relations. Chicago Tribune book editor Robert Cromie interviews Jordan. Program 8291.
