Cory Booker Finds His Roots

Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. premiered last night on PBS as a 10-part series. Included in the series and opening the show was our Mayor, Cory Booker. Finding Your Roots examines the histories and family genealogies of a number of well-known personalities. Through the show, Booker will actually get to meet his white relatives in the episode. Gates used a family history, old public records and DNA testing to track down Booker's great-grandfather, a white doctor in Louisiana, who fathered an out-of-wedlock child with Booker's great-grandmother.

Show can be seen normally Sundays on PBS.
