It was very interesting to see when they found Morgan Freeman's ancestors, one white and one black still together in death very much as they were together in life. It was great to see that they found them.
I bet Tina didn't know one of her ancestors help found the elementary school that she attended.
And to see Chris Rock's ancestor Julius Ceasar Tingman go from slave to soldier to twice-elected Senator to farmer in a span of about 10-15 years and still provide for his family even in death. Rock said had he known this, he would probably never have felt like he was inadequate growning up.
I wonder how many of our young children would not feel they same about themselves if they knew their history that they are more than what they see around them, that they can be more?
I watched the whole thing and can't wait until the next part. I do wish he had done this more on regular folks and not made it into a contest where one lucky person was picked. These celebrities have the $ to do the research if they wished, many non-celebs do not.
