"Famed scholar Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., returns for a new season of FINDING YOUR ROOTS. Over the course of ten episodes, Gates uses genealogical detective work and cutting-edge DNA analysis to uncover the anchestral stories of an array of fascinating figures -- taking them deep into the past to reveal the connections that bind us all. Gates introduces his guests to a cast of compelling characters hidden within the branches of their own family trees -- the ancestors from across the globe who laid the groundwork for their success. Each episode interweaves personal journeys, emotional revelations, and a celebration of America's diverse roots to show that we are, at our core, a blended society, drawing strength from our differences. The season features Speaker Nancy Pelosi; actors Sterling K. Brown, Jeff Goldblum, and Sigourney Weaver; comedians Marc Maron, Melissa McCarthy and Issa Rae; radio host Terry Gross; musicians Jon Baptiste and Queen Latifah; fashion icons Diane von Furstenberg, Narciso Rodriguez, and RuPaul Charles; director Jordan Peele; and journalists Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell."--Container.
