CuriousLy Human

HoW did tHe immigrant experience

shape America? how did our

ancestors affect who we are today?

these questions are at the heart of

Faces of America With Henry Louis

Gates, Jr., a new four-part series

tracing the intersecting genealogy

of 12 renowned Americans.

the series features actress Meryl streep,

cellist Yo-Yo Ma, comedian stephen

Colbert, Desperate Housewives star eva

Longoria, poet elizabeth Alexander, chef

Mario Batali, novelist Louise erdrich, writer

Malcolm Gladwell, film director Mike

nichols, her Majesty Queen noor, tele-

vision host/heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet

oz, and figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi.

Building upon the success of his two

African American Lives series, harvard

University professor henry Louis Gates,

Jr. again turns to the latest tools of

genealogy and genetics to unravel

the American tapestry. he follows the

threads of his guests’ lives back to

their earliest origins around the globe—

and even becomes, with his father,

the first African American to have

his full genome sequenced using this

extraordinary technology to learn more

about his own family heritage.

Full of surprises, the series offers

a fresh look at the history that binds

each of us together as part of a

diverse nation.

Kellogg Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of new York, the Atlantic philanthropies, and the John D. and Catherine t. MacArthur Foundation.
