I asked both Donna and Grace what they had previously been taught about all of this. “You know, we studied Jefferson,” Grace said. “The slavery part was not part of it.” “Well, it wasn’t detailed,” Donna shared. “It didn’t put any heart and thought into it. In high school and college, you didn’t think, These are families. These are moms and dads being separated from each other. So that wasn’t part of the education.”
