Both sides of his family were brilliant, one grandfather being the President of Norfolk is actually a big deal, and his other grandfather being a famous painter is phenomenal.

This brutha here is just EXCEPTIONAL! ! 👏👏

The feelings of disgust, hopelessness and anger never fades everytime I hear about slavery. What slavery has done to the black race in America is unforgivable and should be part of America's history curriculum.

He should be an example to every young black man in America to bow down to put God First! They should all put down the guns, stop killing one another and follow Russel Wilson's example! Even, if Russell slips up in someway, no one is perfect, but he has given a lifetime of wisdom and tenacity for thousands of people who are blessed enough to hear him speak and know of his legacy! Yeah, Ciara and Russell are two blessed people to have found each other! I am not mad at Future, he damned well really messed up! I bet he never, ever dreamed Ciara would find someone like Russell after Future got her pregnant and he didn't marry her! I am so happy Ciara didn't keep messing with Future, by now she might have had 3 or 4 kids by him, and had to give up her career

This story would tell on screen as well af the Alex Haley story. Russell this should be your retirement project.

Just considering how extremely rare it is to see Native Americans in most of the country, I always find it dubious that so many black people think they have Native American lineage. I guess that is yet another terrible side effect of slavery, a people who can't pinpoint their lineage would seek to cling to anything at all. Russell has a fascinating family history, he is very blessed that the genealogists were able to find so much.

He was so charming and humble!

I have always been a fan and followed the stories of Dr. Gates on his program for years, he and his team are some of the foundations of helping individuals come to terms with the prejudices and misunderstandings that we have been working to keep at bay and striving against ignorant thinkers. The power of knowledge is not just knowing but giving ignorance an option for ourselves and others to overcome and make a turn around. The best way for this is a united brotherhood and this team highlights the fact. Thank you and I'll look forward with anticipation for more sessions.

Love Dr. Gates Jr. on any platform. Much respect for what he stands for and who he is.
