Faces of America with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Our country is a "melting pot" of immigrants as everyone knows. However, each American has his or her individual and unique story about their heritage. How did immigrants shape our nation and how did our ancestors shape who we are? These questions are the premise of the PBS series, Faces of America. In the series, distinguished Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. explores the family histories of eleven prominent citizens using genealogical resources, travel around the world and newer genetic techniques. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Doctor Mehmet Oz, Author Malcolm Gladwell and Actress Meryl Streep are some of the guests and each one helps Professor Gates to illustrate a goal of the series: "Know Thyself."
