In Search of Our Roots: How 19 Extraordinary African Americans Reclaimed Their Past - Henry Louis Gates

In Search of Our Roots: How 19 Extraordinary African Americans Reclaimed Their Past

De (autor): Henry Louis Gates

Host of PBS's Finding Your Roots and famed Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. examines African-American immigration and ancestry through the lineage of famous Black Americans.

Unlike most white Americans who can search their ancestral records, identifying who among their forebears was the first to step foot on this country's shores, most African Americans encounter a series of daunting obstacles when trying to trace their family's past. Slavery brutally negated identity, denying black men and women even their names. But from that legacy of slavery have sprung generations who've struggled, thrived, and lived extraordinary lives.

For too long, African Americans' family trees have been barren of branches, but advanced genetic testing techniques, combined with archival research, have begun to fill in the gaps. Here, scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., backed by an elite team of geneticists and researchers, takes nineteen extraordinary African Americans on a once unimaginable journey, tracing family sagas through U.S. history and back to Africa.

Dr. Gates brings to life the recovered pasts of:

  • Oprah Winfrey
  • Whoopi Goldberg
  • Chris Rock
  • Tina Turner
  • Maya Angelou
  • Peter Gomes
  • Mae Jemison
  • Quincy Jones
  • Morgan Freeman
  • Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot
  • Tom Joyner
  • Benjamin Carson
  • T.D. Jakes
  • Linda Johnson Rice
  • Kathleen Henderson
  • Jackie Joyner-Kersee
  • Don Cheadle
  • Bliss Broyard
  • Chris Tucker

More than a work of history, In Search of Our Roots is an important book that, for the first time, brings to light the lives of ordinary men and women who, by courageous example, blazed a path for their famous descendants. In accompanying the nineteen contemporary achievers on their journey into the past and meeting their remarkable forebears, we come to know ourselves.
