The Madison Hemings, Samuel Wetmore Pike Co. article fits the last line
exactly, "constructed their memories in a particular way at a particular
time."

David Thelen discusses the issue of memory and U.S. history in his article
"Memory and American History" [Journal of American History, Vol. 75 (March
1989): 1117-1129].
"..the memory of past experiences is so profoundly intertwined with the
basic identities of individuals, groups, and cultures..."
"...the important question is not how accurately a recollection fitted some
piece of past reality, but why historical actors constructed their memories
in a particular way at a particular time."
Paul
