An Alabama woman who gave birth at 17 weeks is working to change state law when it comes to issuing birth certificates for nonviable births.
Keondra Hampton has “Genesis” with angel wings tattooed on her arm. It’s a constant reminder of the little girl she gave birth to who passed away shortly after being born.
Genesis was born at 17 weeks and when Hampton requested a birth certificate, she was told she couldn’t receive one because in Alabama, you have to be 20 weeks to be recorded.While dealing with the loss of her child, Hampton began a journey to change the law. She got in touch with lawmakers who created House Bill 55 known as the “Genesis Act” that would ensure any parent that loses a baby will be able to request a non-viable birth certificate prior to 20 weeks.
Hampton thinks of her daughter every day and she wants something like a birth certificate to add to the memories.

History As It Happens: HAIH at Monticello, Part 1: What Jefferson WantedThis is the first in a two-part series of conversations recorded at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello as History As It Happens goes on location, with special guests historian Alan Taylor and Brandon Dillard, Monticello's director of historic interpretation and audience engagement. Thomas Jefferson wrote the most famous, inspiring words in all of American history. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.' From the moment the ink dried on the Declaration of Independence, Americans have been in a perpetual state of argument over its meaning. Democracy for whom? Freedom and equality for whom?

In this episode, Alan Taylor and Brandon Dillard discuss why Jefferson still matters, from his views on the nature of democracy to whether white and Black people might one day live together as equals.
