My Monticello - Jocelyn Nicole Johnson

Season 7 Episode 12 | 2m 30s | CC

"In this story I wanted a young descendant, a Black descendant, of Monticello, and have her grappling with how she feels about her enslaved ancestors in the past. How she feels about her founding father great-great-great-great-grandfather; how she feels about that space." Jocelyn Nicole Johnson discusses MY MONTICELLO with host Alka Joshi on NPT's A WORD ON WORDS.
