This epic work tells the story of the Hemingses, whose close blood ties to our third president had been systematically expunged from American history until very recently.

Many people are becoming trapped in limited perceptions. These do not attract new pathways but instead reinforce the dissonance.

Your reality will only change when people change their individual reality programs.
