Abstract:
"The true story of the men--and women--surrounding the founding of America. In the summer of 1776, when Thomas Jefferson arrived in Philadelphia to sign the Declaration of Independence, declaring that "all men are created equal," he wasn't alone. With him was Robert Hemings, just one of the many Black people Jefferson enslaved. But who was Robert Hemings? Discover his story and the true history of those who really helped build America. Featuring riveting interviews with historians, The Founders Unmasked is a quest for the whole truth: the good and the bad"--provided by publisher.
