Every week, Henry Louis Gates produces the show Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates Jr. on PBS. The renowned Harvard professor has helped a number of celebrities make fascinating discoveries into their family genealogy. This past week, he took on the ancestry of actor Samuel L. Jackson, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Brown University President Ruth Simmons.
The New York Times Magazine has a story about one of the guests, Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson, who is 63, has appeared in more than 100 films since 1972 as well as a number of Broadway plays. You can read more about Samuel L. Jackson and his appearance on Finding Your Roots at http://goo.gl/O6MDJ.
