Over the course of ten new episodes, Gates and his team use genealogical detective work and cutting-edge DNA analysis to trace the family trees of twenty compelling guests and tell stories that illuminate America’s fundamental diversity.
In addition to the all-star lineup featuring Akron-born poet Rita Dove, Gates will have his own familial mystery solved when the tables are turned and the celebrated host becomes a guest in the season finale, “Finding My Roots”
“Our ancestors’ genetic legacies cascade down the branches of our family trees informing who we are,” said Gates. “As FINDING YOUR ROOTS enters its eleventh season, the team and I cherish deeply the bond we have with our guests and viewers to explore the history we have in common through personal stories of those who have shaped our world, one generation to the next.”
