Herb-- I would be surprised if the Hemings/Jefferson affair was taught to large groups of students. Its just not that important, one way or the other. I can say for a fact that no one at JMU gives it more than, at best, an off hand passing comment, in the US History survey classes we teach. All best, Kevin Kevin R.
