    Sometimes watching the guests on FYR learn their family histories can be so overwhelming. I remember watching the episode with Mandy Patinkin when it first aired, and the way he fell apart in an instant broke my heart.

    I was struck by Bernie Sanders, who had no real idea what his immigrant father had gone through or just how many of his relatives were murdered in the Holocaust. It was clear that to him it explained a lot about his childhood.

    First I have to say there should definitely be a box of tissue paper on the table. Next Ms. Davis was very wise to hone in on what all of this information means. It tells you why your life has been difficult or easier and why you’ve had to overcome some things that you didn’t realize were an issue.

    Mr Burton has aged very very well. I was in kindergarten o first grade when roots came on tv. In my 40’s I checked out the dvd set of roots and found out I remembered about 5% of the actual series, where he was tied up and whipped. BTW, in real life at that time, I had never seen an African American, grew up in small town Wisconsin.

    As someone in the African diaspora, sometimes its alarming to think of how close and yet so far we are far we are from our enslaved ancestors. You hear stories and for a moment in time you reach out and touch them. My grandma once told my mom that HER grandma could remember her early life on the plantation before emancipation. Its just crazy.

      This is no big secret.
      People lied all the time for different reasons
      People lied when they had affairs, under age pregnancy's, to hide their real race and nationality because of Jim Crow and etc.
      Black light skinned or biracial people who passed for white didn't tell their spouse that they were Black.
      On the babies birth certificate, it would say both parents are white.
      Some people didn't even have birth certificates.
      In the South, a lot of Blacks didn't have birth certificates.
      I have several relatives who were born in the 1930s and 1940s who didn't have a birth certificates.
      Men signed birth certificates thinking they were the father and later found out that they were not.
      They are still responsible for paying child support.
      This is nothing new, families kept secrets and didn't tell their kids or grandkids.
      Jack Nicksoln grew up believing his grandmother was his mother.
      In reality, his sister was really his mother, and the woman he thought was his mother was his grandmother.
      His mother had him when she wasn't married and a teenager.
