Warren Hughes, a descendant on the Betty Brown line of the family, packs up genealogy charts and materials related to the author of the Declaration of Independence and third US President Thomas Jefferson at the first official Sally Hemmings family reunion 12 July, 2003, on the steps of Jefferson's home in Monticello, Virginia. About 200 years ago, after the death of his wife, Martha, Thomas Jefferson had a relationship with his slave Sally Hemmings and fathered seven of her children and there may be as many as 3,000 descendants today according the family members that have researched the subject.

This is Coleman Hughes - Grandfather.
His family was mentioned by Mr. Coates yesterday. Sally Hemings and his 3rd or 4th Grannie was Betty Brown. Sally's half-sister. Elizabeth Hemings was their mom. Yet he still spoke against reparations. THOUGH, his family is from Colonial Era slavery -- a few ran away -- and the others were freed during the 1830's - and lived as free people of color in D.C. -- and one line went to Liberia - like many colonial era black people who were freed.
Elizabeth Hemings Family | Thomas Jefferson's Monticello
Betty Brown
Betty Brown listed with her children in Jefferson's Farm Book, Feb. 1
Dates alive:
1759–post 1831
Family:
Elizabeth Hemings Family
Occupation:
Enslaved domestic servant
In 1772, Elizabeth Hemings’s second daughter, Betty Brown, was the first of her family to come to Monticello, as the enslaved personal maid of Jefferson’s wife Martha. In the words of a member of Jefferson's family, Betty Brown was "quite a personage on the mountain." After almost sixty years of domestic work in the main house, she was one of the last of the Hemingses to live on the Monticello mountaintop, remaining there until the property was sold in 1831.
Described as “light colored & decidedly good looking,” Betty Brown had seven children who lived to adulthood. Among these were enslaved head gardener Wormley Hughes, enslaved Monticello butler Burwell Colbert, and enslaved nailmaker Brown Colbert. Her sons Edwin and Robert both became runaways after being given and sold away from Monticello. Her daughter Melinda Colbert Freeman married and lived in freedom in Washington, DC. Betty Brown died in the early 1830s, probably before her daughter Mary Colbert and son Brown Colbert chose to seek freedom in the African colony of Liberia in 1833.

So Ms. Dean asks a question about predatory lending and directs the question to Coates instead of Malveaux? She's an economist. 
Hopefully Roland Martin gives Malveaux an opportunity to address some of these questions.
Shout out to the Reverend for passing the mic to Malveaux and her calling out the silliness of how the questions were being doled out.

You just said a whole lot of nothing. Wtf does a twitter account have to do with a group of people who’ve been drafting reparations legislation for the last 20 years? You’re the type of dumb simple nikka who’d hire employees based on how many followers they have instead of merit.

What happened? Did you actually watch the hearing? It was successful by all accounts except for a couple of social media activists mad because they weren’t invited.

That's a low bar you have there. But if the point was to garner sympathy then I guess you can call it win.

Without Y.C or Tone,or any of the major figures of the reparations movement there, this council was meaningless,and only beneficial by the exposure of the issue to the general public.
Obama be quiet then a muthufukka about any issue specifically about black Americans. If there were hearing regarding reparations for Jews he’d have an Instagram post up or statement out by now. But nikkas? He ain’t got shyt to say...but hey, we have to secure his legacy. “GO VOTE!!!”
