Celebs Who Traced Their DNA Roots
Blair Underwood
Blair Underwood’s quest to find out where his family is from first sent him down south. While appearing on NBC’s “Who Do You Think You Are,” Underwood discovered his great, great, great, great grandfather owned one hundred acres of land in Virginia as well as two slaves. Deciding to do a bit more digging, the veteran actor had his DNA analyzed and discovered his people on his father’s side are from Cameroon. He and his dad made a pilgrimage back to their homeland and Underwood likened the experience to the end of the movie Roots: “People were singing and celebrating.”
