PBS: “Finding Your Roots” With Dr. Henry Louis Gates Explores Celebrities’ Family Trees, Including Nas’ (Season Trailer)
“Now I’m looking into their world…”
– Nas
PBS is home to some incredible television. Real. Not ‘reality TV.’ Case in point: “Finding Your Roots” with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Following on a great inaugural season, Season 2 is going to be loaded with guests who want to know the depth of the roots of their family trees. Everyone will learn something stunning about themselves on the show. The G.O.D.M.C. Nassir Jones (aka Nas), shown among other celeb guests in the season trailer above, seemed very reflective about what Dr. Gates found and shared with him. Check out the trailer. And check local listings for broadcast times.
I am a United Methodist Minister. I was the grandson of Henry Hayes and Carolyn Hayes was my mother of Kingsport. Tennessee. My father was Reverend Robert Pearson of Columbia South Carolina. I was conceived in January 1953 and have it was my mothers’ birthday and nine months later I was born. I would like to know the Hayes lineage and the Pearson if possible. Of course I am leaving our a lot. I have met and been friends with the Pearson family for a number of years, but I know that there is more to know.
My grandfather was born in Louisiana. My grandmother was an Early in Henderson Kentucky.
Wow. Thanks for commenting, Terrence! The PBS.org site might provide a way for you to reach out to Dr. Gates (the host). I found his Facebook page >> https://www.facebook.com/HenryLouisGatesJr/ (maybe you can send a message to him about it there).
