About Annette Gordon-Reed

Annette Gordon-Reed is an acclaimed American historian, author, and legal scholar, noted for her groundbreaking works on Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. Born in Texas in 1958, she pursued her academic passion at Dartmouth College, later obtaining her JD from Harvard Law School. While trained as a lawyer, it was her keen interest in history that steered her path.

As a tenured professor at Harvard University, her work intersects legal and historical fields examining issues of race, American culture, and the legal narratives surrounding slavery. Gordon-Reed’s gripping domain expertise is prominent in her Pulitzer Prize-winning work, “The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family” which broke barriers in slavery narratives.

Highly respected in academia and the literary world, Gordon-Reed’s pivotal contributions extend beyond writing, shaping legal conversations about race in American history. Amid celebrated career milestones, her honor as a MacArthur “Genius” elevates her as a notable voice in historical and legal studies.
