Finding Oprahβs Roots will not only endow readers with a new appreciation for the key contributions made by historyβs unsung but also equip them with the tools to connect to pivotal figures in their own past. A roadmap through the intricacies of public documents and online databases, the book also highlights genetic testing resources that can make it possible to know oneβs distant tribal roots in Africa.
For Oprah, the path back to the past was emotion-filled and profoundly illuminating, connecting the narrative of her family to the larger American narrative and βanchoringβ her in a way not previously possible. For the reader, Finding Oprahβs Roots offers the possibility of an equally rewarding experience.
