Finding Your Roots

Narrator

Though Ronald's influence on Brittany is clear, he's also at the center of a mystery that has haunted her since her childhood. Ronald grew up without a father. And Brittany has long yearned to learn the identity of her grandfather, whoever he may be. I literally only know of one story that I heard my dad tell from the pulpit. Can you tell me that? He saw his father. They were estranged. He saw his father standing on a street corner, and he was inebriated, drunk and kind of generally pointing in my dad's direction and said, "That's my son." And I don't know if that's how he found out that that was his father but that's all I ever knew about my grandfather. And what are you hoping to find out? I just wanna know who he was. My grandmother, my dad's mom, Maimi was a firecracker. (Brittany chuckling) And incredibly strong. But I just wanna know the other half of my dad.
