Paging Authors Podcast: Annette Gordon-Reed
Posted by Dana on 11.10.2008 at 11:39 am
Paging Authors with Dana Barrett is a biweekly podcast in which our lovely and talented Ms. Barrett sits down with your favorite bestselling authors as well as up and coming literary stars.
Today’s edition: Annette Gordon Reed, author of The Hemingses of Monticello and Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy as well as co-author of Vernon Can Read! A Memoir.
In addition to her work as an author Ms. Reed is a professor of law at New York Law School and a professor of history at Rutgers University.
In The Hemingses of Monticello, Ms. Reed expands on her earlier work on the controversial and often denied relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings to include the history and lives of the entire Hemings family; a family unique in their time because of their connection to the White House and to one another.

The Hemingses of Monticello is an absolutely fascinating look at the Jefferson patriarch.
Would make an outstanding screenplay and film adaptation.
Annette Gordon-Reed, who will be our Film Festival post-screening guest for Amistad, October 19, just received a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, more commonly known as the “genius grant,” given each year to 20 people in various fields of excellence in the sciences, arts, and humanities.

Greetings,
Recently, the Forum on Law Culture and Society changed it’s URL address for its website. Upon review I’ve noticed you have our old website address displayed on your webpage. We would greatly appreciate, if you could, at your convenience, change the link to read: ForumonLawCultureandSociety.org. Thank you!
All the best,
