Genetic techniques include Y-chromosome DNA, mitochondrial DNA, and autosomal DNA analyses to infer both ancient and recent genetic relationships. The series has examined the family histories of celebrity guests with African American, Asian American, Chinese American, Greek American, Indian American, Irish American, Italian American, Jewish American, and Latin American heritage.… (más)
Henry Louis Gates revisa asuntos raciales que no ocurren en Estados Unidos, donde la noción de que cualquier persona con una gota de sangre negra es negro, todavía sigue siendo muy aceptada. El documental va de los tiempos de la esclavitud al presente, incluyendo los efectos que tuvo este fenómeno en las artes, comida, danza, música e incluso la política y la religión, pero también habla sobre el racismo que ha socavado a la cultura negra.
