WORLDWISE Arts & Humanities Dean's Lecture Series: Annette Gordon-Reed

Join the University of Maryland College of Arts and
Humanities for a conversation with historian, Harvard Law School professor and
Pulitzer Prize winner Annette Gordon-Reed. Despite scholarly opposition toward
her groundbreaking book, “Thomas Jefferson & Sally Hemings; An American
Controversy,” Reed published an unrelenting body of research that led to a 1998
DNA test that proved the once-rumored relationship between Jefferson and the
woman he owned. Her current work continues the story of the Hemings-Jefferson
family. Reed also serves as a humanities commission member for the national
report, “ The Heart of the Matter.”

This event is FREE, but ticketed general seating. Reserve
