Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings, James Callender, and sex across the color line under slavery -- Notorious in the neighborhood -- The church and the brothel are only separated by a pane of glass -- The strongest passion that can possibly aggitate the human mind -- To be free from thate curs and let at liberty -- Let there be but two races among us
