What made America? What makes us? These two questions are at the heart of the new PBS series Faces of America with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Building on the success of his series African American Lives (called by the New York Times �the most exciting and stirring documentary on any subject to appear on television in a long time�) and African American Lives 2, Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr. again turns to the latest tools of genealogy and genetics to explore the family histories of 12 renowned Americans.

I love these kinds of family history stories. Like Meryl Streep said, we are so ignorant of our past...and yet we are the sum of all of those people.
Happy watching! |
