The subject of this painting—titled "The Captive Slave" by John Philip Simpson—is thought to be American-born actor Ira Aldridge. Though Aldridge was born free and lived his entire life free of bo***ge, he is depicted here enslaved. Born in New York, he left the United States due to racism and lack of acting opportunities. He moved to Europe and became successful Shakespearean actor and a frequent muse of European painters. First exhibited in London in 1827, Aldridge's plaintive expression in the painting was meant to be an abolitionist plea, as the ending of slavery in the British Empire was being debated. The painting is currently on display in the acclaimed "Afro-Atlantic Histories" exhibition at the The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; it also appeared in "Le Modéle Noir de Géricault à Matisse" at the Musée d'Orsay.

Hundreds of world leaders flew in private jets to a climate change conference where nothing real will get done. Did I get that right?

Our story began on October 18, 1745, The Dutch West India Company established Demerara as a separate colony from Essequibo. Fast forward to 1776, our rebellious neighbor to the North decided that it was high time to introduce a little “freedom” to the New World, thus triggering the American Revo...

Sally Hemings was the mother of several children with Thomas Jefferson. She was also mixed-race and a slave owned by Jefferson. Female slaves had no legal right to refuse unwanted sexual advances, and their children inherited slavehood. Hemings, at 16 years of age and living free in Paris, had negotiated with Jefferson to return to enslavement at his home at Monticello in exchange for “extraordinary privileges" for herself and freedom for her unborn children. She raised four children over 32 years and prepared them for emancipation. Sally Hemings was never freed, nor did she negotiate for her freedom.

Shannon Lanier, the sixth great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, works as a television reporter in Houston. Lanier wrote a book about his experience growing up as a Black man related to Jefferson. When Drew Gardner approached him with The Descendents project, Lanier was apprehensive. Would some people see this as glorifying or condoning Jefferson's actions?

Gardner recalls telling Lanier: "If we do this, a whole lot more people will know about Sally Hemings than if we didn't. More people will come aware of it. And one of the cool things is that this has happened. People have said, ‘Wow, I didn't know that Jefferson had a Black family.'”

Gardner hopes this picture continues to prompt discussion:

“Hopefully it just gets a few more people interested in it and looking at the whole slavery situation—help get a few people on board. Just look at it and if they don't agree with it, even if they stay racist just to accept it. Hopefully, things will start to change. And certainly, the more pieces of conversation that can be started by a project like this or protesting or whatever anyone can do to contribute, the better.”
