Live with Thomas Jefferson: The University of Virginia


  • Monticello Charlottesville, VA USA (map)

Thomas Jefferson devoted the last years of his life to what he called the “hobby of my old age”: founding one of the first secular colleges in the United States, the University of Virginia. In this week’s livestreams, we’ll explore Mr. Jefferson’s vision for the university, and the enslaved people whose labor made that vision a reality. To begin, please join us for this live Q&A with Mr. Jefferson himself, interpreted by master scholar-interpreter and founding Innermost House Advisor, Bill Barker HERE.
