Thank you for sharing this. I know some of this about Monticello as I am a graduate of UVA. I appreciated to learn about the cooking of his enslaved chefs
Thank you for highlighting this truth. I have recently been reading the wonderful book The 1619 Project by Nicole Hanna Jones. Like this fact there is so much of the history of American history which is not taught in our schools. The more we can learn and attend to the true stories of our past the better chance we have of becoming the democracy we profess ourselves to be.
As education becomes more and more threatened in the American school system, the importance of informative articles like this cannot be denied. Thank you for writing about this and allowing people a glimpse into the history of enslaved people, and perhaps delve into further research to learn more. We can never heal until we face our past and acknowledge it.
Such important information for us to be aware of, as so much of this history was swept under the rug until recently.

Powerful, important message. Thank you. You are a great person.
Thanks for all you do. I have been to Monticello a few times, but never looked at the way the slaves cooked. This is a great reminder.
Next time I go to the States I'll definitely visit Monticello.
Wounds heal when we are able to acknowledge them.That applies to every country.Hope we all learn !
