Celebs Who Traced Their DNA Roots
Marc Lamont Hill
Marc Lamont Hill has long been a social justice activist and organizer. As one of the founding board members of My5th, a non-profit organization aimed at educating the disenfranchised youth about their legal rights and responsibilities, the CNN and MSNBC commentator was eager to trace his family roots. After having his DNA analyzed, Hill discovered that his mother’s ancestors hail from the Mende tribe in Sierra Leone and the Fulani tribe of Guinea-Bissau.
