Song of the South
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. explores the family secrets of actor Danielle Deadwyler and musician Rhiannon Giddens--two artists who are both deeply tied to their Southern heritage. Using genealogical detective work, Gates uncovers stories that his guests’ ancestors went to great lengths to conceal--meeting heroes and villains--and celebrating the virtue of accepting one’s relatives whoever they may be.
