What is the Monticello Association?
The Monticello Association is a nonprofit organization of lineal descendents of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States. Members are eligible for burial in the family graveyard.
The Monticello Association denies membership to the descendants of Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings. A committee is investigating the issue and hopes to issue a final opinion in May 2001, at the association's annual gathering.
