Kate Burton and Dr. Gates

Finding Your Roots: Rags to Riches

Tuesday, April 14 at 7 p.m.

On this episode of “Finding Your Roots,” Henry Louis Gates, Jr. maps the family trees of actor Kate Burton and media mogul Barry Diller, two people who grew up in comfort, thanks to ancestors who did not.

Moving from shtetls to coal mines to orphanages, Gates and his guests learn stories of extraordinary sacrifice and explore a profound question: what do we inherit from people whose lives were unimaginably more challenging than our own?
