An invitation
I imagine most know at least some of the story of Sally Heming, sister-in-law, slave, companion and mistress of Thomas Jefferson and how she accompanied Jefferson to France to look after the Jefferson children and tend to Jefferson's "needs".
Today I am confronted, with what seemed to be wide spread, another similar story of Abigail (no known last name), a slave to John Jay and also taken to France during his service there.
I encourage you to take 15 minutes to meet Abigail and "touch" her life.
I do not often use the audio version, but I did for this and was well rewarded.
