　　An outspoken participant in the civil rights movement, Roger
  Wilkins served as Assistant Attorney General during the Johnson
  administration. In 1972 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize along
  with Bernstein and Herblock for his coverage of Watergate. Yet this
  black man, who has served the United States so well, feels at times
  an unwelcome guest here.

  In Jefferson\'s Pillow, Wilkins returns to America\'s beginnings
  and the founding fathers who preached and fought for freedom, even
  though they owned other human beings and legally denied them their
  humanity. He asserts that the mythic accounts of the American
  Revolution have ignored slavery and oversimplified history until
  the heroes, be they the founders or the slaves in their service,
  are denied any human complexity.

  Wilkins offers a thoughtful analysis of this fundamental paradox
  through his exploration of the lives of George Washington, George
  Mason, James Madison, and of course Thomas Jefferson. He discusses
  how class, education, and personality allowed for the institution
  of slavery, unravels how we as Americans tell different sides of
  that story, and explores the confounding ability of that narrative
  to limit who we are and who we can become.

  An important intellectual history of America\'s founding,
  Jefferson\'s Pillow will change the way we view our nation and
  ourselves. 　　Roger Wilkins, currently the Clarence J. Robinson Professor of

History at George Mason University, was cited in the 1972 Pulitzer

Prize award to The Washington Post for his coverage of Watergate.

He serves on the school board of the District of Columbia and lives

in Washington, D.C.
