The first African-American Lives series revealed the power that comes from discovering one’s family history. In this second four-part series, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., guides a new group of guests through poignant, eye-opening revelations of ancestry and inheritance. Drawing on DNA analysis, genealogical research, and family oral tradition, Professor Gates ushers Maya Angelou, Morgan Freeman, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Tina Turner, and others into the distant past, then reconnects it to the present. In doing so, he helps viewers tap into rich veins of U.S. history while highlighting its profound connection with Africa. Distributed by PBS Distribution. 4-part series, 54 minutes each.
