What do you think? Have you seen Who Do You Think You Are? Will you watch the new season?
Please bring this show back. I think now, more than ever, this country needs to see the TRUTH of this nation’s past– the good, the bad, and the sometimes, very ugly. So much of history has been glazed-over and watered-down that young people today, believe some of the misinformation they’ve been taught by their well-intended family members or loved ones (if they were taught anything at all).
After the terror attack in Charlottesville, VA. this weekend, America needs a serious dose of reality– not just from celebrities, but from everyday Americans, about everyday contributors to this great country.
I love this sho

I am thrilled that the show is returning this year!Excited to learn about the history of the chosen people.
