Faces of America is a four-part American television series hosted by Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr..[1] The series originally aired February 10 to March 3, 2010 from 8–9 p.m. ET.[2] In Australia, this program aired on SBS One each Sunday at 7:30pm from 9 -30 January 2011.[3]
About
It uses genealogical research and genetics to find the family history of 12 Americans: Elizabeth Alexander, Mario Batali, Stephen Colbert, Louise Erdrich, Malcolm Gladwell, Eva Longoria, Yo-Yo Ma, Mike Nichols, Queen Noor of Jordan, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Meryl Streep, and Kristi Yamaguchi.[1]
In the series finale, Gates explored the emerging use of full genome sequencing to understand personal ancestry and health, by learning what might be inferred from his whole genome sequence, and that of his father, through in-depth analysis by a personal genomics company (Knome) and the Broad Institute.
In 2012, PBS aired Finding Your Roots, also examining questions of genealogy and genetics, hosted by Gates.[4] This program became an ongoing series. As of 2022 it was still in production, and will present new episodes in early 2023.
