Linnea told the story of a younger Black woman guide who worked at Monticello for about two years and experienced a range of challenges, including harassment from visitors, people asking her on dates, and even people coming up and asking, “Oh, are you related to Sally Hemings?” Another staff member was sitting in the café when a white woman who had just completed a tour came up from behind, hugged her, weeping, and said, “I’m sorry for slavery.”
