recently kinda discovered PBS series Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates JR.
Research is amazingly well done, scholarly.
Tonight was about Audra McDonald (sp?) and Mandy Patinkin.
Not that I'd have ever thought to ask nor care about their "roots", but this show reduces them to humans with whom we can identify and therefore care about.
Some sweet and painful emotions. It's the common human experience.
