Og loves playing the game Twenty Questions, and I’ve just got to tell you that at least that many questions were answered by one of our new programs produced by the University of Virginia, DNA and the Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings Story. Who was involved? How did the idea evolve? Did someone need to be exhumed? Who needed DNA testing? How were they found? Are the results valid? Is it bigger than a bread box? (Og just ALWAYS has to ask that last one!) Dr. Eugene Foster, former Professor of Pathology, initially seems to be the unlikely candidate leading the research of the paternity of Sally Hemings’ children, but in the end we realize why he was the perfect choice for this controversy involving the intersection of science and history.
