The result is a captivating cross-section of history, illustrating that diversity is both America's strength and its constant. Over the course of 10 one-hour episodes, we see that each guest's family tree is filled with compelling characters -- slaves and kings, artists and entrepreneurs, abandoned children and missing parents, revolutionaries, visionaries, and a wealth of ordinary individuals who lived remarkable lives.
