Thanks JT for turning me on to The Root.com

They have video clips from this show John and I watched a while back that was really good. It was about tracing the DNA of Black Americans back to Africa. It aired on PBS a couple of months ago. if you missed it, here are a few clips from interviews with famous people regarding their DNA testing. It's really interesting.

My cousin traced our family's roots back to Africa. Going backwards, my roots travel for the most part, from Tampa to Bradenton, Florida to Jamestown, North Carolina and then to Guinea-Bissau. I believe we are from the Mandinga tribe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea-Bissau I'm really happy that my cousin took the initiative to do this.
