How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith - Monticello

Beginning in his own hometown of New Orleans, poet and Atlantic staff writer Clint Smith leads the reader through an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history, and ourselves.

In this excerpt from a talk he gave at Little, Brown and Company, Clint Smith discusses Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving over 400 people on the premises.
