I believe that Sally and Piggy from “Lord of the Flies” are very similar. They both were children and had children’s mindsets. Those things were taken advantage of from both of them.

https://t.co/gzDjuxmAtx This is a link to a scholarly article titled “Sally Hemings & Thomas Jefferson: History, Memory, and Civic Culture.” This article is about my life and the DNA that proves Jefferson fathered my children.

How old was I when I first gave birth you ask?
I was 16 years old. I negotiated with the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence and secured independence for any children I would have. Jefferson gave his word, so a pregnant 16-year-old came back to Monticello in 1789.

A brother, Madison, and a sister, Harriet, still had contact but Harriets stopped answering his letters and such. There is a big chance they could’ve ran into each other.

This song is about the children of Sally Hemings. The children are trying to call out to their parents.

https://t.co/VDynSTa4VK I served as a nurse to Jefferson’s younger daughter, Mary (Maria). I also find it funny how Jefferson freed my children but not me but ok.

https://t.co/HyKhu0F3GB Here is a biography if my life back at the Jefferson household. I feel I am worthy of having my story told because some young girls stay quiet, as did I, but we need people to understand how horrid life can be as an enslaved young girl.

I am very much worthy of a book. I speak for me and my brother,James Hemings, when I say we are victims.
