Miniseries like 'Jefferson in Paris' & ‘Sally Hemings: American Scandal’ suck! They cast much too-old, much too-dark Mulattoes (Thandie Newton, Carmen Edjogo, etc.) to play the role of Sally Hemings, a 12-year old fair Quadroon. In addition, the screen play has Hemings (who again would have been a fearful 12 year old) as "the seductress" of "poor, helpless Jefferson" The disgusting role-reversed/dark-seductress false portrayal of Jefferson's sexual-abuse of Hemings ruin the entire miniseries
Forcible rape, sexual assault & sexual exploitation -- by plantation owners (& especially by overseers) against enslaved people of both genders -- was a very common practice used in the antebellum chattel-slavery era to create terror-based fear While Sally Hemings was NOT a Black or Mulatto enslaved person (she was a Quadroon enslaved person) -- like most enslaved-people of any race/ gender, sexual-terror & exploitation was used against her from childhood-on...by her captor
IT WAS 'RAPE" It was NOT a "relationship" As a young, enslaved CHILD (despite having white skin, gray eyes, brown hair) HEMINGS HAD NO CHOICE in the sexual exploitation of/assault on her sexual/reproductive organs To minimize, justify or excuse his exploitation of this enslaved person is as bad as excusing/ justifying any of the forms of enslavement In regards to “choices”, Hemings life was more akin to that of the kids in today's 3rd-world-child-brothels & not that of a "secret-mistress"
IT WAS NOT A "ROMANCE"! HEMINGS (a white-skin, brown-hair, grey-eyed Quadroon, look-alike half-sister of Jefferson's dead wife) WAS A 12 YEAR OLD ENSLAVED GIRL WHEN JEFFERSON 1st SEXUALLY ABUSED her. He even had a room built off his bedroom that he kept her LOCKED IN at night & also enslaved the Octoroon kids she had by him (although a few ran away w/o being hunted down by him) Locking up a 12 year old CHILD for use of sexual abuse & exploitation is NOT a "ROMANCE" -- IT IS CALLED RAPE
The miniseries 'Jefferson in Paris' sucks They cast a much too-old, much too-dark (eyes, hair, skin) Mulatto (Thandie Newton) to play the role of Sally Hemings, a 12-year old, very fair-complexioned Quadroon. In addition, the screen play has Hemings (who again would have been a fearful 12 year old) as "the seductress" of "poor, helpless Jefferson" The disgusting role-reversed/dark-seductress false portrayal of Jefferson's sexual-abuse of Hemings ruined the whole miniseries

In most books that touch on this issue, they not only point out the DNA evidence but also circumstantial evidence such as the children that were fathered when Jefferson came back to Monticello during his presidency. But I do believe that every logical person has accepted this fact. He did have an affair with Sally. They seemed to have been in love. And he did father children.
In reply to the question "why visit Jefferson-Hemings NOW?", brings in the black presidential race which has NO bearing at all on, DID TJ FATHER SLAVE CHILDREN?
Speaking of Ellen Randolph Cooledge's letter she conveniently NEGLECTS to inform us that in her first book she completely rearranges the statement to give an EXACT different meaning. The first book also states, DNA does NOT prove that Eston's descendant tested is a descendant of Thomas Jefferson. Next book says 7 were TJ's.
That happened because of rape during slavery times.
