and Thomas Jefferson Foundation Trustee

Dr. Jane Kamensky
President, Thomas Jefferson Foundation

The Honorable J. Michael Luttig

and Thomas Jefferson Foundation Trustee

Dr. Danielle Allen

A leading political theorist, Dr. Danielle Allen is James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University. She is a professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy and director of the Democratic Knowledge Project and of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation. She is also a seasoned nonprofit leader, democracy advocate, national voice on AI and tech ethics, prize-winning author, and mom.

A past chair of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Pulitzer Prize Board, and former Dean of Humanities at the University of Chicago, Dr. Allen is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. She writes a column on constitutional democracy for the Washington Post and is the author of many books, including the widely acclaimed Talking to Strangers: Anxieties of Citizenship Since Brown v Board of Education; Cuz: The Life and Times of Michael A.Democracy in the Time of Coronavirus; and, most recently, the magisterial Justice by Means of Democracy. Most directly linked to the work of Monticello is the Parkman Prize-winning Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality, hailed as a “tour de force” by Gordon S. Wood, among others.

Beyond the University, Dr. Allen is a co-chair for the Our Common Purpose Commission and Founder and President for Partners In Democracy, where she advocates for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy, and to drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all. She and Jane Kamensky have worked together closely as co-principal investigators and implementation leaders of Educating for American Democracy (or EAD), working with a diverse and cross-ideological group of educators to transform the teaching of history and civics in schools and communities across the United States. Under Kamensky’s leadership, Monticello has joined EAD’s Community Learning Partners Task Force, which seeks to elevate the unique contributions site-based experiences make to our civic learning and health. 

Bill Barker

Bill Barker on the West Portico steps of Monticello

Veteran historical actor-interpreter Bill Barker is widely recognized as the nation’s foremost interpreter of Thomas Jefferson. After portraying Thomas Jefferson at Colonial Williamsburg for 26 years, Barker joined the Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello in 2019. Barker began interpreting Jefferson in 1984 — fittingly, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Combining the tools of theater with rigorous historical scholarship, his approach explores Jefferson’s life and times, and how it relates to our world today.

Barker has performed as Jefferson around the country and around the world, at sites including the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Palace of Versailles, and more. He has been featured as Jefferson in numerous publications including TIME, People, and Southern Living, and has appeared as Jefferson on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, C-SPAN and Comedy Central’s Colbert Report. Monticello guests encounter Barker as Mr. Jefferson in regularly-scheduled programming at Monticello. He also contributes to educational outreach efforts, including electronic field trips and livestream programs, and represents Monticello at special events around the country.

Her 12 years of professional experience in non-profit, advocacy, and public management work in Houston and Philadelphia inform her efforts to move marginalized, historic Black communities to the center of planning discourse and research.

A 7th-generation Texan and descendant of urban and rural Black settlements, she created The Texas Freedom Colonies Project Atlas and Study while a doctoral student at UT-Austin to identify and map disappearing settlements through counternarrative development and storytelling in 2014. Created by Dr. Roberts before joining UVA, The project has become a vehicle through which students, advocates, and volunteers map 526 of the estimated 557 Black settlements in the state. Her teaching, peer-reviewed, and public scholarship highlight African Americans’ placemaking and placekeeping as part of a long tradition of resistance and freedom-seeking in the Americas. Planners and researchers throughout the US have applied her approaches to challenging Black settlement invisibility, illustrating disproportionate environmental risk and developmental encroachment, and recording stories of land loss and stewardship. Under the auspices of the Center, she now leads the Andrew Mellon Foundation-supported Outsider Preservation Initiative, which will expand her work beyond Texas to historic Black settlements on the East and West coasts and Canada.

She teaches and publishes on African American Placemaking, Community Revitalization, Planning History, Planning Theory, Heritage Conservation, and Grassroots Historic Preservation. The Journal of Planning History; Buildings and Landscapes, the Journal of the American Planning Association, the Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage, Public Culture, and Planning Theory & Practice have published her work. Her commentaries have also appeared in Newsweek, Places Journal, The Conversation, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Leadership Forum. She is currently authoring a book, Never Sell the Land: Place Persistence as Resistance, about her experiences recording settlement origin stories and grassroots Black historic preservation practices that sustain cultural resilience for The University of Texas Press.

She has received awards for her engaged research methods and scholarship from The Vernacular Architecture Forum and the Urban Affairs Association. Roberts was a 2020-21 Whiting Public Engagement Fellow, an African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund grant recipient, and a 2020 Visiting Scholar at Yale’s Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, Abolition.

At UVA’s 2023 Annual Research Achievement Awards, she was recognized for having achieved national recognition and making substantial contributions to her field of study, influencing the academic community, and positively impacting society through her work.

Dr. Roberts has served as a National Monument Audit Advisory Board member and a Mellon Initiative in Urban Landscape Studies Advisory Board member at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, DC. This year, Chair Bronin invited her to join the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Experts Advisory Committee, which is charged with strengthening “bridges between the federal government and the research community.” She was also a Spring 2023 Visiting Garden and Landscape Studies Scholar at Dumbarton Oaks.

Gayle Jessup White

Gayle Jessup White

American history is in Gayle Jessup White’s blood. A direct descendant of both Thomas Jefferson and those enslaved at his famous Monticello estate, her story is a real-life version of Roots – a 40-year struggle to prove that her family’s belief about its links to the author of the Declaration of Independence were true. Along the way, she unearthed not only a fascinating family saga, but sharp and searing insights into America’s conflicted past and the unsettled future.  

She recounts her journey in her recently released book, Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant’s Search for Her Family’s Lasting Legacy, published by Amisted, an imprint of HarperCollins - hailed by best-selling author Bakari Sellers as “a quintessential American story that should be required reading for anyone who doesn’t understand the true contributions of African-Americans to this nation.” 

The narrative begins in Washington, DC, where Gayle grew up in a comfortable Black middle-class neighborhood, shielded from racial issues, and continues through her career as an award-winning television reporter and communications specialist. Throughout it all, she was dogged by something she overheard during a family conversation when she was 13 years old – that her family could trace its roots to Jefferson. But the family lore was oral history passed down from an elderly relative who could not read or write. Without historical documents and other evidence, for decades validating that lore seemed impossible.  

It was not until Gayle made connections at Monticello that, with the help of a famous historian and DNA, she was able to prove that the family legend was not only true. It was also more inspiring than she had ever hoped. 

Today, Gayle works at Monticello, as the Thomas Jefferson Foundation’s first public relations & community engagement officer – the first descendant of Jefferson and the families he enslaved to work for the Foundation. Her position provides her unique opportunities to share her American story —and her hope that lessons learned from our past can guide us in the future—in evocative presentations and in a forthcoming book about her mother’s side of her family.
