Explore the Past with Passport and Henry Louis Gates Jr.
For me, it doesn’t matter what kind of program Henry Louis Gates Jr. makes — I’m watching it. He genuinely knows how to tell a story.

Take his newest program, GOSPEL. Wow! I guarantee that it’s completely, totally and scientifically impossible to watch this program and not tap your foot, clap your hands and move around to the music. If you think you don’t like gospel music, think again. Dr. Gates presents it in a way that you can’t help but love it. You can see it Monday and Tuesday at 9 PM on PBS Western Reserve. For our supporters at the Passport level, it’s available to you on demand right now.
Another one of his programs that’s appointment television in our house is FINDING YOUR ROOTS. You know the drill: Celebrities are shown their family tree and are always surprised to find out who’s sitting on the branches. You can watch it on Tuesdays at 8 PM on PBS Western Reserve, or you can go to Passport and look for your favorite TV or movie star and learn their family secrets whenever you want. Passport makes it easy.
OK, I’m on a Henry Louis Gates Jr. roll and so let’s keep going with his two-part documentary THE BLACK CHURCH: THIS IS OUR STORY, THIS IS OUR SONG. You don’t have to be Black, religious or musical to be fascinated by the way he tells this story. Stream it any time you’d like on PBS Passport.
