Faces of America, a new look at race and immigration in America!
Last week I tuned into the debut of Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s new PBS series, Faces of America that traces the roots of a dozen Americans in an effort to answer the questions: What made America? What makes us? I have always been a fan of his work, but frankly I was blown away by the way the show! Not only because it highlights the importance of immigration in America without falling into typical clichés but also because it brings to the forefront of our consciousness the real conversation that we all need to have about race in this country.
