"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our
heritage - to know who we are and where we came 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 , Roots
