In celebration of the 4^th of July, the Smithsonian Magazine just released a new project that reimagines historical figures through the eyes of their living descendants. As the 6^th great grandson of President Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings, Nexstar (CW39) news anchor, Shannon LaNier, decided to participate and give you a behind the scenes sneak peek.
