however the information is very informative and interesting.

Editorial Reviews
The first AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES revealed the power in discovering one's family history. Now, Henry Louis Gates Jr. will guide a new group to discover their ancestry in AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES 2. The series will draw on DNA analysis, genealogical research and family oral tradition to trace the lineages of the participants, including Maya Angelou, Morgan Freeman, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Tina Turner, down through U.S. history and back to Africa.

I have seen most of the Henry Louis Gates,Jr. DVDs and they are all excellent. This is one of his best.
Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors. I have all three of his Through the Wormhole science DVDs and watched them many times. Chris Rock, Tina Turner and 8 others add a lot to the 240 minute program. Highly recommended.

To me, this DVD was like being a kid in a candy store. You want to know more and more. Such great revelations unfold. Their personal stories complement our our places in history

African American - Who Do You Think You Are?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 11, 2011Verified Purchase
Henry Louis Gates Jr AKA Skip presents this wonderful programme which aired in the US but will never see the light of day on UK screens unless you buy the DVD. If you are part of the African Diaspora interested in African/Caribbean/American history this DVD will excite and inform you. Packed with personal stories about the ancestors of celebrities in the AA community you will find their histories, moving, shocking, factual and relevant to all families whose ancestors walk a similar path. Slavery left its mark but to hear the wonderful stories of triumph over adversity is heartwarming and inspirational. It also shows what can be achieved even in the UK if we apply ourselves. Check out
