For my project, I researched Sally Hemings. Sally was a black slave and was Thomas Jefferson's mistress. She was almost completely white in appearance. She supposedly had six children with Jefferson. Today, the relationship of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings remains an interest to historians and the public. DNA testing was used to see if Sally had any descendants. DNA testing however has not proved whether or not Thomas Jefferson was the father of her children.
