Finding Your Roots - Season 3

The third season of the FINDING YOUR ROOTS series continues to explore how diverse racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds challenge many of our long-held national myths. Hosted and written by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the series is filled with emotional moments that enrich our national discussion on race, ethnicity, and identity. Gates traces the ancestral trails of 28 new guests including Maya Rudolph, Sir Richard Branson, Gloria Steinem, Bill Hader, Mia Farrow, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Senator John McCain, Norman Lear, Shonda Rhimes, and more. Each of their stories illuminates the vast patchwork of culture, race, and experience that make up the fabric of America.
