Finding Your Roots: Far from Home

Tuesday, May 13 at 7 p.m. 

Henry Louis Gates Jr. explores the family trees of pop icon Cyndi Lauper and actors Jamie Chung and Danny Trejo, introducing them to ancestors whose stories were forgotten when their families immigrated to the United States. Drawing on long-lost records from Italy, Korea, Mexico and Switzerland, Gates helps his guests to re-imagine their families and connect to their vanished histories.
