A three-minute video about Getting Word, a project to identify the descendants of Monticello's enslaved community and collect their oral histories. Begun in 1993, the Monticello's researchers have interviewed nearly 180 individuals and will share their research through a website that will launch in late January 2012.

Just a correction there were no black officers in the 54th Massachusetts. Black troops were commanded by white officers for fear what happen to a black officer if captured by the traitorous Confederate's.

This is so amazing. Collection of talks, films and the like, need to be taught to the youth of today so they get the truth of our nistory and not His-story, and told and taught by us, whether some want it or not. It may be the past, but if they donr want to repeat it in their time, they must get to know it.!

I wonder if families from Mount Vernon are doing the same. Very interesting.

I doubt it because George Washington freed all his slaves in his will they all left in 1801 and live their life as Freeman something that TJ boy didn't do!!!

I doubt it considering that he freed his slaves in his will and they all moved on as Freeman by the time Jefferson died a whole generation Mount Vernon former slaves had been born!!
