Finding Your Roots : The diverse American experience as it relates to race, culture, and identity is the focus of Finding Your Roots. Presented by Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., this 10 episode series continues the quest begun in African American Lives 1 and 2 and Faces of America and carries it to an entirely new level. Each hour features a different pair of celebrity guests, who are bound together by an intimate, sometimes hidden, link whether it be as old friends, through long lost relatives, or a common past. Celebrity guests include Barbara Walters, Robert Downey, Jr., John Legend, and Martha Stewart, among others. Spring, 2012
