"Ever since I watched 'Roots,' I've dreamed of tracing my African ancestry and helping other people do the same."

In the founders of great families, titles or attributes of honor are generally correspondent with the virtues of the person to whom they are applied; but in their descendants they are too often the marks rather of grandeur than of merit. The stamp and denomination still continue, but the intrinsic value is frequently lost.
