This article was one that I found very interesting. The in-depth look into the James Hemings and his life was a very revealing experience. It is easy to gather information from documents but I have never seen how people attempt to gain information for the lack of documents. There were no official documents about James Hemings but through using many different tools historians were able to gain some insight on his life from Thomas Jefferson’s documented letter. This article was a great teaching moment, showing me that the lack of information on a person or certain thing does not mean that story must remain unknown. Using certain tools and human intuition we can “offers some acknowledgement of the lives and stories that will forever remain unknown”.
