@sojomuseum: Remember when we talked about the man who invented mac & cheese? James Hemmings had a crazy family dynamic with Thomas Jefferson: the man who enslaved him and also took credit for his inventions. . . . . ##fentysuperbrandday##fyp##blackhistory##History##museum

Sally Hemings descendant here! James is my most favorite ancestor to talk about. in fact, I went to Paris and stood in the very spot the building once was where he was the head chef. his story was so tragic. also the pictures you have of the Hemings isnt them. one I believe was Washington's chef. there are no pictures in existence of Sally

Ok I’m glad I learned it first from here but the sacrifices and compromises that family went through trauma to deliver the most delicious meal I’ll be eating it with gratitude and honoring James Hemmings
