History Channel's Jefferson documentary

Unlike the recent History Channel's hatchet job on my life where they invited biased and agenda-driven commentators, Ken Burns's documentary on me was more fair and balanced on the matter of Sally Hemings. In the film, the narrator and Joseph Ellis sum it all up below:

NARRATOR: Jefferson never specifically responded to Callender's charges.

"The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies," he said.

John Adams said he did not believe the charges but, he told his wife, they were nonetheless "a natural and unavoidable consequence of that foul contagion in the human character, Negro slavery."

ELLIS: This has been dragged through the pages of history.

It's like a tin can that's been tied to Thomas Jefferson's tail and has rattled through the pages of history.

If it were a legal case brought before a dispassionate group of uh, jurors, the evidence would now be such that Jefferson would be found not guilty.

So if the relevant evidence was presented before an impartial group of jurors, and I would be found not guilty as a result, why is Monticello still perpetuating falsehoods to this very day, each and every day? I hope you can understand why I cannot RIP.
