We watched the entire series yesterday. It was outstanding!

The interesting part to me was when Henry Louis Gates, Jr. found out he is 50% european through DNA testing. Here's a guy who's spent his life dedicated to AA studies and is the head of AA studies at Harvard. Chris Tucker's story is amazing as well.

1. Amazing Series
I wish I could have my DNA tested. I would love to check several boxes on forms that ask for race (Hm-mm, White, African American, Native American, Hispanic, all of the above!).

The series illustrated why race is such a ridiculous categorization. Most of us are Heinz 57s.
