In a live Richmond Forum exclusive, Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. traces the roots of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

On April 2, 2016 Henry Louis Gates, Jr. sat down in front of a Richmond, Virginia audience of 4,500 with Richmond’s native son and two-time Super Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson for a discussion and discovery of the family legacy and influences that have made Wilson the man he is today.

Broadcast in Richmond on WCVE PBS, this Richmond Forum program is a homecoming celebration that mixes sports, genealogy, and American history...along with a few family surprises.
