Jefferson's Sons / Kimberly Bradley / 360 pages / Notable Children's Recordings 2012

This is an excellent fictional account of the invisible children of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings.  Jefferson promised to free each child upon their 21st birthday.  Since they were 7/8 white they were legally white, but since they were born to a slave, they were slaves.  They were not to call the master Pappa.  They did, however, receive favorable treatment, but often resented their father's negligence.  How could the man who wrote " all men are created equal" own slaves?
