Summary

Henry Louis Gates reveals the unexpected roots of activist Angela Y. Davis and statesman Jeh Johnson, inspiring both to reconsider their understanding of the Black experience and their preconceptions of America's past. Using DNA and the historical record, Gates maps the deep histories of families that are more diverse-and far more complicated-than either of his guests ever expected.
