Came back to this blog six years after creating it and all I can think is damn wtf I needed to shut the fuck up lmfao
Reblog if you get it
okay so I see a lot of “hamilton ladies” photsets or fanarts with sally hemings in them, like you have adrienne de lafayette and martha manning laurens and sally hemings
one of these things is not fucking like the others
first off, let’s make this very clear: she was his slave
she was the daughter of her previous master, john wayles, because masters frequently raped slaves and had children by them. john wayles’ legitimate white daughter, martha, married jefferson. so sally and martha were half-sisters, though martha was 25 years older, and apparently they looked extremely similar
jefferson was, by all accounts, extremely devoted to martha, but she happened to die very young, at 33. he promised her he would never marry again.
he had sally join him in paris in 1787 as a companion and carer for his daughter. she was 16. he was 41. this would have been weird even in colonial times: she’s referred to as a “child” in letters at this time and not as a capable adult. it’s also pretty important that she was very fair or even white-passing, and her children by jefferson were definitely white-passing.
oh yeah, they had kids! at some point while in france, he got her pregnant. he legally owned her, he was much older than her, and she was in a foreign country away from all her family except her older brother. consider whether she actually could consent to sex (spoiler alert: no). consider whether she would have chosen to pursue her freedom and stay in france, which she could have legally done (spoiler alert: probably not).
I can really understand the appeal of including sally hemings. there’s inherent drama. jefferson is all upset at martha’s death, and he swears never to marry again! but here comes someone who looks just like her before she died. their love is forbidden! it’s very romantic, I get it, I do.
except for one teensy-weensy but ever so crucial little tiny detail: HE OWNS HER
SHE WAS NEVER NOT OWNED
SHE DIED AS THE PROPERTY OF THE JEFFERSON FAMILY
sally hemings’ story is a very common one: a light-skinned slave, the product of rape, being raped by her master
it is not cute, it is not romantic, it is not in the same league as any other historical pairing, and it’s really not appropriate to portray her that way
‘Hamilton’ and Its Innovative Education Program Arrive in Los Angeles [Source]
“There is no audience more honest on earth than 17-year-olds — they’re unjaded and scream at any action or kissing,” says Lin-Manuel Miranda, the musical’s creator and original lead, who earned an Emmy nomination for hosting Saturday Night Live and next stars in Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns. “By the time they get to the theater, they’re buzzing. They’ve learned about the show and this chapter in American history, and they’re ready to go.”
“These kids are writing these incredible poems and dances and songs and scenes, not just from the perspective of George Washington, but also Sally Hemings and Phillis Wheatley — it’s this incredible way to explore how history isn’t told,” he says. “We really don’t treat Hamilton as the be-all, end-all of American history — it’s a musical! It’s as much as we can cram into two hours and 45 minutes! — but it’s been a great jumping-off point.“
The idea for #EduHam sprouted back when Miranda still envisioned Hamilton as a mixtape and his 2009 performance of the now-opening number at the White House went viral online. “In the six years I was writing Hamilton, teachers were already using the song in classrooms — YouTube comments said, ‘My social studies teacher showed us this,’ ” he recalls. “As the show began to have success, we realized [the] need to prioritize kids in a real way, because this is going to be a tough ticket.”
The picture was taken by Wesley Mann on June 28. Lin-Manuel Miranda posed at NYC’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts with #EduHam alums. [BTS]
Oh hey guys I’m in the new official Hamilton app in the stickers section :)
OAK’S BIO FOR GREAT COMET SAYS “I have done things… other than Hamilton” I’m crying
someone said they needed to see it in print so. proof
it also says “shake and bake”
at family dinners
me: talk less, smile more
me: don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
This is also a reminder that an original cast bootleg of Hamilton is on PornHub under the title ‘Founding Fathers get Naughty in the Bedroom’
it takes and it takes and it takes
“A letter from him from the man that I love…”
