Rex Ellis, Associate Director for Curatorial Affairs at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, guides educators through the exhibit "Paradox of Liberty," exploring the lives of Thomas Jefferson and his enslaved workers. After the visit, historian Christopher Hamner leads a discussion. How did the exhibit depict Thomas Jefferson? How did it approach the lives of his slaves? How is the context of the exhibit important?
