SUMMARY:Finding Your Roots Event
DESCRIPTION:Finding Your Roots – Family Sagas of Pride and Perseverance \nJoin Detroit Public TV and PBS Books on Wednesday\, March 22\, at 8 p.m. ET\, for a fascinating look at new techniques for unravelling the mysteries of African American genealogy \nNow in its ninth season\, “Finding Your Roots” stands as one of PBS and America’s most enduring and popular favorite programs. It’s enjoyed by people from all backgrounds and ways of life. We celebrate each other’s stories\, because every family’s history has much to tell us about the history of our country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday\, March 22\, Detroit Public TV and PBS Books present a special digital event\, inspired by the work of “Finding Your Roots” host and creator\, Dr. Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, who has made genealogy a national pastime. \nWe will present a dynamic discussion of the issues and opportunities that African Americans face as they trace their histories. There is never a straight path in genealogy\, always twists and turns. But we will consider the unique challenges of these families\, as they hunt through the wreckage of slavery for records that are lost or incomplete\, searching for ancestors whose names and locations often have been changed or falsified. \nThankfully\, there are new tools\, historical and scientific\, to unlock family histories. We will present a panel of avid and talented genealogists\, who have mastered tricks and tips that will help others exploring their family’s origins. At the same time\, they relate the surprising facts and inspiring stories they discovered about their own histories. \nWe even learn something about Dr. Gates himself! \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, March 22\, at 8 p.m. ET\, at DPTV.org\, PBSBooks.org\, or Facebook Live. \nOur partners include the Washtenaw County African American Genealogy Society\, Ypsilanti District Library\, Fred Hart Williams Genealogical Society from Detroit\, Lansing Area African American Genealogical Society and the Afro American Historical and Genealogical Society from Washington\, D.C. \nIt will be an evening of tears and triumph\, DNA and dogged research perseverance\, as we do our best to let the genealogy out of the bottle. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
