The Paradox of Liberty: Virtual Exhibition
Explore the paradox of the American Revolution—the fight for liberty in an era of pervasive slavery—through the lens of Monticello and its inhabitants.
Since its premiere in 2012, Monticello’s traveling exhibition, “Paradox of Liberty: Slavery at Jefferson’s Monticello” has been seen by almost 1.3 million people in seven cities across the country. To reach an even larger audience, our curators have been hard at work creating a digital version of this historic exhibit.
In this live Q&A Monticello Associate Curator Emilie Johnson, Public Relations and Community Engagement Officer Gayle Jessup White, and public historian Lauranett Lee discuss the creation of this digital exhibition and take questions from the audience.
