What are your views on the Jefferson-Hemings relationship, and the racial boundary which divides their descendants? Do you have a family story to share about heritage and identity, or mixed race relationships and love? This small bell was given to Sally Hemings as a child by Jefferson's wife.

Do you have a favorite document or object that holds great personal significance to you?
