Favorite episode/family tree?


Which was the most enjoyable or moving episode or celebrity to learn about?

I found Wanda Sykes hysterical. I love the fact that he was able to trace part of her lineage back to a free white woman and an endentured servant not a slave. Also, that some of her free black ancestors owned slaves as well. The great thing about this is that history is a complex web of relationships and the common stereotype is only a small sliver of what actually happened. Love the segments that show things were not so cut and dry and knowing that history is far more interesting than the stereotypes.
