    Thomas Jefferson was not an innocent victim of history, or of an era, such that he did not know slavery was evil. He openly said it was evilhttps://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/883356076548272128 …

        Sally Hemings was 14 years old when Thomas Jefferson began sexually assaulting her. 16 when she had her first child by Jefferson.

        Many of the social injustices that we face today are evil and people just accept it because it is so normalized. People need to #wakeup!

        @vansopinion8ted Says slavery is evil, practices said evil, sets standard for American politicians. Nothing's changed much.
