Famous for the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson spent the rest of his life thinking and writing with an eye toward changing public and political ideas and norms. Professor Jeremy Bailey, author of a new book on the subject, discusses with Jeff three other ‘declarations’ Jefferson made during his long public life, commenting on a free press, native lands and peoples, and slavery.
Jefferson wrote knowing that his words would become public, and would likely be read for years, and continued debates over these three issues is proof of his 250-year reach through our history, politics, and culture.
