Being that I will most likely inherit the role as family historian, this series is of special significance to me. I believe that everyone could benefit from watching this series. The previews show that African American history includes unexpected and rarely discussed relationships. The previews have me so excited to see the methods and measures it took to make such genealogical revelations.
