“In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep,

to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we have
come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow
yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still
a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness.”

Alex Haley, author of Roots: The Saga of an American Family

Research shows that...

Children who know a lot about their families:

  • Do better than other children when facing challenges.
  • Are more resilient, and have higher self-esteem.
  • Have a stronger sense of control over their lives.
  • Believe that their family functions successfully.
  • Feel that they belong to something larger than themselves.
