Looking in The Rearview Mirror


In this video, we revisit Professor Henry Louise Gates Jr.'s Faces of America. In this particular section, he is interviewing Louise Endrich. This interview brought me back to her poem Family Reunion. Also in retrospective, it made me think of our first family history essay. I thought of the journey of finding about family history, but I also thought of the relevance in discovering what comes before us.  I wondered if finding out about family history was important for everyone as it was for me as a first generation American.

So my question is  finding out about your cultural/familial history important or do you feel as though it is more salient to form your own path?
