During the July 25th, 2022, Jefferson-Madison Republican Library Board meeting multiple historians and activists came out to defend the legacy of Thomas Jefferson and to counter the message of members of Charlottesville Antifa and Black Lives Matter who were perpetuating the lie that Thomas Jefferson raped Sarah “Sally” Hemings, while comparing the former United States President to Adolf Hitler.
They claimed that anyone who was a slave owner, including former United States Presidents, should not be honored. These are the same people who want statues of Thomas Jefferson removed from the Charlottesville City Hall, Monticello and the University of Virginia. One of the parents had their toddler holding a sign calling for a name change of the library. Was that the view of the toddler? Clearly not, since the toddler was just emulating the views of those who raised her. But this is a part of a bigger Communist plot, to perpetuate lies to separate Americans from their founding fathers.
Once you get enough Americans to believe that the flaws of our founding fathers are more important then their strengths, then you’ll have more and more individuals who will go against tenants of our Bill of Rights, such as freedom of speech, freedom or religion and the freedom to bear arms.
This isn’t just a fight to change the name of a regional library system in Albemarle, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties, but rather a peice of a much larger puzzle to fundamentally transform our country.
We held the line, and we will not let them win!
