Henry Louis Gates Jr. (You may remember the White House “Beergate” incident) is kicking off Season 2 of Finding your Roots. The show starts on Tuesday, Sept. 23, PBS. time not known. The previews look very interesting with such people as Sally Fields, Ken Burns, Anderson Cooper, Ben Affleck, Tina Fey, Alan Dershowitz and a number of others.
