Eminent Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. uses revolutionary breakthroughs in genealogical research and DNA analysis to take eight prominent African Americans on once-unimaginable journeys into their past--tracing their family sagas down through U.S. history and even back to Africa.
On this epic adventure, Gates is joined by neurosurgeon Ben Carson, actress Whoopi Goldberg, Bishop T.D. Jakes, astronaut Mae Jemison, musician/producer Quincy Jones, sociologist Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, comedian/actor Christ Tucker and TV pioneer/philanthropist Oprah Winfrey.
